This engaging resource shows why key biblical leaders like Paul could confidently declare he would teach nothing ‘except Christ and him crucified’.
In these 10 units, students are encouraged to look at the death of Jesus, through the story of the Bible, in order to gain greater insight into the heart of the Christian faith and the person Jesus Christ.
The Cross skilfully presents this message alongside the everyday challenges young people face living in this complex and confusing world.
