Crushing the Great Serpent

Did God Punish Jesus?

What really happened at the Cross? Did the Father really forsake His son and “turn His back” as some claim? How could an all-loving God punish someone innocent for the crimes of the world? By taking a careful look at the Biblical text, Old Testament practices, New Testament terminology, culture, and history, Will Hess seeks to present a clearer view of Christ’s work than what is often popularized and answer some of the biggest questions surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This work is a must read for anyone who wants to better understand how Jesus defeated our greatest enemy on the most pivotal day in human history.
