The Anatomy of the Cross: Understanding the Greatest Event in Human History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181279476)

What happened at Calvary?

Why did Jesus have to die?

What did His death actually accomplish?

Why does the Bible place such overwhelming emphasis on the cross?

In The Anatomy of the Cross, author Michael Taylor takes readers on a journey through Scripture to uncover the meaning, purpose, and eternal significance of the greatest event in human history.

Beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation, this comprehensive study traces the scarlet thread of redemption woven throughout the Bible.

Inside this book you will discover:

The cross in God's eternal plan

The Passover Lamb and its connection to Christ

The prophetic significance of Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22

The meaning of substitution, atonement, propitiation, redemption, reconciliation, and justification

The defeat of Satan at Calvary

Written in a clear, easy-to-understand style and grounded firmly in Scripture, The Anatomy of the Cross reveals why the cross remains the center of God's redemptive plan, the foundation of salvation, and the eternal song of heaven.

The cross is not merely part of the Christian story.

The cross is the center of it.
