At the cross we catch a glimpse of the enormity of our sins’ offense to God. Here we learn about hell as Jesus, God’s beloved Son, takes the retributive punishment that we deserved, even separation from God, to deliver us. Here we look deeply into the mystery of the love a holy and righteous God for sinners.

Robert A. Peterson (* 1948) ist ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Theologe und lehrte über viele Jahre als Professor für Systematische Theologie am Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. Er vertritt eine dezidiert reformierte Bundestheologie und profilierte sich insbesondere mit Schriften zur Heilslehre sowie der Verteidigung der traditionellen Lehre von der ewigen Verdammnis. Für Bibelleser bietet sein Werk eine systematisch strukturierte Erschließung zentraler Themen wie der Rechtfertigung, der Heilsgewissheit und der göttlichen Adoption.
