The Cross
By Robin M Jensen, Harvard, £25
The Cross of Jesus Christ, his Passion and death, is at the heart of the Christian faith. The significance of the Cross was made known by Jesus’s glorious Resurrection a mere three days later, and since that momentous day that significance has not been lost for a moment.
Generation after generation, century after century, millennium after millennium, Christians all over the world have lifted the holy wood of the Cross upon which hung our salvation. One way in which the Cross has been venerated has been in all forms of art, every medium, for nearly 2,000 years.
