Abstract
[INTRODUCTION] “For a large proportion of those who have professed
the Christian religion, that religion has included
the doctrine that salvation is to be won in
some sense through the death of it's Founder, and
through belief in the saving efficacy of that death."
These words, uttered by Dr. Hastings Rashdell in the
opening lecture of the Bampton Series for 1915 express
well the recognized place of the "Cross" in Christianity.
For the most part, it has occupied central place.
To the majority of Christian believers, that last event
of the life of Jesus in the flesh, the crucifixion,
stands out as absolutely unique In history, furnishing,
in the economy of God the indispensible prerequisite
of the world's salvation. But while the Gross has I
been accorded central place in Christian history, the
method whereby the death of Christ avails for the salvation
of the world has been expressed in a number of ways.
