<br/><br/>Introduction --  The cross and the abolition of religion --  The necessity of the cross --  The cross as 'the end of the world' --  The cross: where God comes close --  The cross, resurrection and the hope of humanity. 
<br/><br/> "In this exploration of Mark's Gospel, Peter Bolt looks at why the cross is so prominent in the narrative; asks what contribution Mark's teaching can make to our understanding of the atonement; and shows how this teaching can inform, correct and enrich our own preaching of the gospel in the contemporary world. He helps us to stand in wonder before the God who has come close to us in the cross of Jesus Christ, and to live in hope of the better things to come."--Back cover.
