Kenneth Leech brings a passion for Christian solidarity and social justice and a spiritual director's pastoral awareness to these reflections on the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the cross: what the cross tells us about the sharing of suffering, and what it can teach us about politics, nonviolence, and the power of evil. Ideal for personal meditation and group study.

Kenneth Leech is the founder of Centrepoint, one of the biggest programs for homeless youth in Europe, and former field officer for racial justice justice for the church of England, and community theologian at St. Botolph's Church in Aldgate, London. He is the author of many highly regarded books, including Soul friend, The Eye of the Storm, True Prayer, and the award-winning Care and Conflict.
Leech, a well-known Anglican priest and author, has chosen to focus his Lenten study on the importance and meaning of the cross in today's world. In doing so, he asks and attempts to answer some of the most difficult questions about both Christianity and crucifixion. For instance, do Christians merely help people endure pain, or is there a message in their faith about ending pain? Do political positions on contemporary issues really emerge from contemplating the cross and its sacrificial context? Because of the subject matter, style, depth and near overload of information and ideas, this volume will be difficult reading for many but well worth the effort for others just because of the theological jewels imparted.
