The Christian faith is centred on the cross and that is also where the Christian life is rooted. These 13 studies help us look at the significance of the cross - including forgiveness, its revelation of God, the conquering of evil - and then what it means for the Christian community to live under its transforming power. The cross gives us a new worshipping relationship to God, a new incentive to give ourselves in mission, a new love for our enemies and a new courage to face the perplexities of suffering.
