Can someone translate this phrase for me please "Crux sola est nostra theologia"

Also could you tell me what language it is in and provide a link to a
translation page. If you could break the translation down word by word
that would be helpful.

Thanks.

"Crux sola est nostra theologia" is Latin for "The cross alone is our
theology." The phrase was popularized by the 16th Century religious
reformer Martin Luther.

Word for word:

  LATIN      ENGLISH
  crux       cross
  sola       alone or only
  est        is
  nostra     our
  theologia  theology

Online references:

"Crux sola est nostra theologia. The cross alone is our theology." 

Catchpenny.org: The Heidelberg Disputation
http://www.catchpenny.org/crux.html

"Luther called it the theology of the cross. Crux sola est nostra
theologia - the cross alone is our theology."

Pastor Paul T. McCain: Tremendous Ordination Sermon

"Finally, the Latin text Crux sola est nostra theologia. This means,
the Cross alone is our theology."
