In this refocusing of our minds on the saviour who died in the cross, the message of the cross - so central to the Christian faith, is rediscovered and applied in a compelling manner. With a meaning still relevant to us today, this classic study by R.A.Finlayson explores the significance and the mystery of the cross - which will leave no reader unmoved, by detail attention to 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 and Isaiah 53.

Roderick Alick Finlayson was born in Lochcarron in 1895.

Prof Finlayson went to Glory in February 1989.
