Publisher's Synopsis
A way of the cross depicts the path through Jerusalem that Jesus took on the day of his death. Indoors or outdoors, and using images such as sculptures or paintings, it has its origins in pilgrimage to the Holy Land and is intended as an aid to prayer and reflection on the crucifixion. Most common are the fourteen stations of the cross found in Catholic churches. This Quaker way is quite different in that it uses fourteen questions from the Bible to sketch key points in a Biblical perspective on life. The answers mostly take the form of compilations of Bible quotations, some rendered more freely than others. A Quaker approach to the Bible is open to the leadings of the spirit, looks for that which speaks to one's condition, avoids dogma and doctrine, and does not place the words above the spirit.
