What Does It Mean to Glory in the Cross—And Why Must Every True Christian Do So?

The apostle Paul declared with unwavering conviction, “But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” In THE CROSS: Crucified with Christ, and Christ Alive in Me, biblical scholar Edward D. Andrews restores Paul’s singular focus to the center of Christian life and doctrine.

With clarity and precision grounded in the literal, historical-grammatical interpretation of Scripture, this book explores why the cross is the exclusive ground of justification, the supreme demonstration of Jehovah’s love, and the essential pattern for discipleship, holiness, unity, and enduring hope.

Rejecting Calvinism, predestination, and the immortal soul doctrine, Andrews presents a thoroughly biblical view rooted in free will, Molinist foreknowledge, and the conditional nature of salvation. The cross is not the end of the story—it is the believer’s entry into a lifelong journey of faithfulness, service, and ultimate reward.

This is not a book of sentimental reflections. It is a bold return to apostolic truth. For those who seek to understand and live by the same gospel that transformed Paul’s life, THE CROSS is both a challenge and a call to live crucified with Christ—and alive through Him.
