Pierced for Our Transgressions: Finally Available in U.S.

October 28, 2007

The book Pierced for Our Transgressions: Rediscovering the Glory of Penal Substitution is finally available in the U.S.

You can read John Piper’s foreword and chapter 1 online.

Westminster Bookstore is offering a special price of 40% off (until Nov. 2).

Here are just a few of the endorsements:

“The Bible historically has been understood to teach explicitly and implicitly that Christ died as a penal substitute for sinners. That’s what this excellent volume teaches us, too. Carefully studying the primary biblical texts and then answering numerous objections, this book explains and defends the understanding that Christ died in our place, taking our penalty for us. From the biblical material to patristic quotations, from pastoral implications to present objections, this book is a responsible and comprehensive introduction. All the authors’ careful work promises to make this book the new standard text on Christ’s atoning work. Now, I can’t wait to read it again, devotionally.”
Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church

“This book is important not only because it deals so competently with what lies at the heart of Christ’s cross work, but because it responds effectively to a new generation of people who are not listening very carefully to what either Scripture or history says.”
D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

“This book is faithful to Scripture, knowledgeable of history, conversant with current debate, and deeply committed to seeing the church flourish in our day.”
David F. Wells, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
