Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cross of Christ
And first, let us distinguish between the divine and the human, the essential and what is merely incidental with regard to the Cross of Christ. In all the later ages of Christianity, the Cross of Christ has been presented in aspects with which the mind of man has had little or no quarrel. Presented to the mind objectively, as the mystic symbol of Almighty superintendence, or Divine condescension, con nected with the behests of authority, or the achievements of conquest, the trophies of power, or the triumphs of virtue, it does not, as the general rule, offend. As betokening the challenge of supremacy, or the claim of dominion, historic note or national vestige as the Cross opposed to the Crescent - it does not revolt. As vaguely distinctive of the great message of human redemption, or as denoting the grand conflict between good and evil, going on upon the theatre of the world, little or no objection is urged to it. Used only to denote the being of God and the immortality of man, Christianity as the choice of a religious creed.

The Cross of Christ (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the centrality of the cross of Christ for Christian belief and practice. The book examines the significance of Christâs crucifixion in light of contemporary understandings of punishment, forgiveness, sacrifice, and moral transformation. The author argues that the cross reveals God's condemnation of humanity's moral failures and provides a way to escape through Christ's sacrifice. The themes explored include the ruin of human nature due to sin, God's revulsion toward it, the divine purpose to punish yet forgive sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and humanity's utter helplessness in saving itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331380948_0
