More about the book
Exploring the early interpretations of Christ's cross, this book delves into the typology of Passover as a foundational understanding of the passion. It re-evaluates sacrificial imagery and traces the identification of the cross with the Tree of Life through history, linking it to the Eden narrative. The text emphasizes imaginative insights to comprehend the cross's significance, enriched by literary and liturgical reflections, including cruciform poems. Ultimately, it presents a paradoxical emphasis on life rather than death in the context of the cross.
