Reflections on Sin and the Cross

Recently, I finished one of the most influential books that I've ever read. It's titled Not The Way It's Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin by Cornelius Plantinga, Jr. Now, with a name like that, you'd expect this guy to be dry and scholastic. But, this book was so profound and accessible that it was revolutionized the way that I view the cross. All I have to say is read it! How can you truly understand the glory and riches of the cross without plumbing the depths of human sin? most interesting was the chapter on the treatment of sin as the violation of the Jewish concept of shalom. I won't ruin it though.
