"The Theology of the Cross: Christ in Luther’s Sermons on John" (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2017)
Foreword by Alister E. McGrath, Oxford University
Endorsements:
“With a sure ear for the nuances of Luther’s engagement with the text of his favorite gospel and for the questions of our own time, Ngien again renders the reformer’s interpretation of Scripture understandable and relevant for modern readers. His special combination of keen-sighted theological analysis of Luther’s faith and a sensitive meditative application of his insights gained from the evangelist John’s depiction and confession of Christ permits both the evangelist and the reformer to speak directly to twenty-first century faith and life.” - Robert Kolb, Professor of Systematic Theology Emeritus, Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis
"John was Martin Luther’s favorite gospel because he believed that it provided a clear pathway into the very heart of God. Dennis Ngien has given us here a major study of Luther’s sermons on this great New Testament text. The whole scope of Luther’s theology is evident in these sermons and they bear close study and reflection." - Timothy George, Founding Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and General Editor of the
Reformation Commentary on Scripture

“Dennis Ngien is a teacher and friend whom I’ve learned much from over the years. In Giving Wings to the Soul, he gives us precisely that: biblical insight and real-life illustrations on faith, hope, and love that lift us to soar even in the midst of adversity. His first chapter on the attractiveness of Jesus Christ, in which the author comes face to face with probable death and expounds on Christ’s suffering love, is alone worth the value of this fine book. I commend this rich volume of sermons and know that you will treasure it as well.” - Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker
"In recent decades the importance and place of the sermon in worship has become increasingly sidelined. In this collection - some of which are intensely personal - Dr. Dennis Ngien shares with us ten biblically-based, theologically profound, pastorally sensitive, and devotionally rich sermons that draw on the wealth of the Christian theological and spiritual tradition, and are illustrated by stories from saints known and unknown." - Dr. Anthony R. Cross, Director of the Centre for Baptist History and Heritage and a Research Fellow, Regent's Park College, and a member of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Oxford
