Official synopsis Publisher
The cross is the both worlds’ most contemptible instrument of punishment and the symbol of humanity’s greatest hope. In turning this tool of torture into his followers’ proudest boast, Jesus produced the most dramatic reversal the world has ever experienced. Worn around our necks, hung in our homes, carried in procession and set on mountaintops, the cross speaks to what we believe about Jesus and about how we understand our lives in relationship to him. This study plumbs the depths of Scripture for the horrible and glorious significance of the world’s most beloved symbol. Ideal for Lent and Easter seasons.
