The Glory of the Cross: The Great Crescendo of the Gospel (Lausanne Library)

The Glory of the Cross takes us through a series of meditations on the last hours of Jesus life, from the Last Supper to Calvary. James Philip, Scottish theologian and pastor, brings unusually perceptive insight into Christ's fierce, costly love. This book is intended to be read in both personal devotion and together with others.

A blend of doctrinal instruction and pastoral application, poetically and intelligently written. A foreword by Sinclair Ferguson emphasizes Philip's depth of feeling and clarity of expression. A study guide in the back of the book makes this book useful for Bible studies, Sunday schools, and church small group settings.

James Philip served as minister of Holyrood Abbey Church in Edinburgh, Scotland. His pastoral and expository style, which we enjoy here, made him one of the best-loved speakers in the university Christian Unions.

Sinclair B. Ferguson is Associate Preacher at St Peter's Free Church in Dundee and also Distinguished Visiting Professor of Systematic Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was Senior Minister of First Presbyterian Church of Columbia, South Carolina and prior to that, he was minister of St. George's-Tron Church in Glasgow.
