2nd Hand - The Message Of The Cross By Derek Tidball

Good condition but with a few highlighted passages and pencil markings. Small cut on cover and persnal details cut out

The cross is a wonderfully wrought and complex work of God, which cannot be captured in its fullness from one standpoint alone. Derek Tidball walks us through the pages of the Bible, stopping to look first at one and then another of the portraits of the cross that it presents.

Our journey begins with sketches drawn by the old Testament writers, centuries before the cross ever became a historical reality. we then linger over the eye-witness masterpieces of the Gospels, before moving on to the more reflective pieces by Paul and the other New Testament interpreters of the cross of Christ.

In this wide-ranging exploration of this magnificent theme, the author brings out the implications of the cross for Christian living, community and spirituality. listening to the whole of the bible's message leads us to a renewed sense of awe at the splendour of god's grace, his wonderful plan of redemption and the immensity of his personal love for us.
