Both J. I. Packer and John Stott wrote influential works on the cross. Packer’s article, “What Did the Cross Achieve?” was published in 1974, and Stott published his book The Cross of Christ in 1986. Stott quotes Packer’s reference to the cross as the global mark of Evangelicalism and being at “the very heart of the Christian gospel.” This article looks at both of these works to see the agreements shared in Packer’s and Stott’s theologies of the cross, as well as detailing the areas in which they seem to disagree. This exposition thus presents the overarching ideas both of these Anglicans believed to be held as central while also showing that the interpretation of these ideas can nevertheless vary.
