Who This Author Is

A.W. Tozer writes from the perspective of a searching, devotional Christianity that presses readers to examine their relationship with Jesus. In Who Put Jesus on the Cross? he blends biblical reflection and pastoral urgency to challenge casual faith and call believers toward honest repentance and spiritual vigilance.

Tozer’s voice is direct and exhortative: theological clarity paired with a moral insistence that faith has consequences. This book focuses on responsibility and sin, urging Christians to confront their complicity in Christ’s sufferings and to pursue a faith shaped by conviction rather than comfort.
