The Cross in Pauls Gospel and the Old Rugged Cross
The essay argues that first century view of crucifixion as a vile instrument contrasts with Christian praise for the cross. It cites Pauls writings in Galatians and Corinthians to explain crucifixion as redemptive rather than torture, and concludes believers cling to the cross through faith in Jesus death and resurrection. It ends with Augustus Topladys Rock of Ages as a reaffirmation of salvation solely by the cross.
