Over the years the cross has become a symbol, a crucifix or lucky charm. John Blanchard uses his apologetic skills to unravel its real meaning. He explains for those unfamiliar with the bible the reality and importance of the crucifixion. He deals with Old Testament prophecy and New Testament witnesses. The facts about Jesus Christ the man are set alongside the equally clear teaching of his divinity. Blanchard does not flinch from handling ‘the big words’ in the theology of salvation, although the final section on the Invitation is a mixed bag. This is intended as more than an Easter resource. It contains numerous colour photos.
