For many, the cross is a central part of Christian religiosity. However, Christians can often simplify the cross as just a conveniently recognizable symbol of their faith. In The Cross, Ryle reexamines and forces us to reexamine the true meaning of the cross and its centrality to salvation for those of the Christian faith. Far from just a symbol, the cross, to Ryle, is the symbol for the entire core of Christian belief. The Cross is an excellent read for those wanting to truly delve into the core of Christian beliefs and symbolism.
