At the Cross invites us to stand with these men and women, to view the cross through the life-shaped perspectives of these real people. Men and women who open up new angles of vision on the cross. People who seem remarkably familiar, like people we know, like people we love, like people we are.

Richard Bauckham and Trevor Hart offer a rare gift of Christian devotion and imagination firmly rooted in historical soil and richly nourished by theological insight. Their meditations on eleven men and women at the cross are given sharp visual focus by the artwork of Helen Firth.
