“Lutheran theology needs to rule the day. In it, one will not only find biblical fidelity, near company with the church ancient, but also the most comprehensive and relevant verbiage for contemporary quirks and concerns. The Spirituality of the Cross is for all those who are seeking the simplicity of God’s good news for humanity but structured in a systematic way that sticks.” Flame, Grammy Nominated Christian Rap Artist

“I had a profound joy in first hearing that a third edition of Veith’s book was being released by Concordia Publishing House. Joy: not only because I have an updated edition to rediscover again but that there will be an updated edition for the next generation to discover. My young children and confirmation students thank you, Mr. Veith, for this wonderful book that they will read in the upcoming years. I pray that this third edition will be as beneficial to the next generation as the first edition was to me.” Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard, author of Will the Real Jesus Please stand Up?: 12 False Christs, Pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Minot, ND

“The Spirituality of the Cross is essential reading for all who desire meaningful Christianity in these otherwise meaningless modern times. Veith provides readers with an updated and expanded version of his classic exploration of what makes Lutheran theology unique and permanently relevant. Just as this edition reflects Veith's own journey in the spirituality of the cross, I highly recommend this book to all who journey through this life longing for a stout spirituality of the cross.” A. Trevor Sutton, Author of Being Lutheran and Why Should I Trust the Bible
