The Empty Cross of Jesus - Softcover

In this text, the author takes a look at the symbol of the cross in light of the resurrection. Arguing that the death of Jesus on the cross turned the symbol of shame into the "elixir of cosmic hope", Green examines why the cross is so important, what happened there, and why it makes a difference.
