Sandy Higgins examines the cross of Christ, tracing its progressive revelation through Scripture, the profound theological reasons for the crucifixion, and the distinct perspectives presented in the four gospels. He outlines how the cross is foreshadowed from the Pentateuch through the prophets, explores its ultimate purposes—including the revelation of God in His fullness, the reversal of Satan's work, and the creation of true worshippers—and contrasts the restrained physical details in the evangelists' accounts with their rich theological emphasis on the trial, tree, and tomb.
