Between Gethsemane and the empty Garden Tomb stands the Savior's sacrifice on the cross. In this in-depth study of Christ's gift from Golgotha, author John Hilton lll provides insight to help us in our quest to "attain to a perfect knowledge of [Christ]" and come closer to our Redeemer (Jacob 4:12). This book explores questions like "How can studying Christ's Crucifixion increase our appreciation for his Atonement?" "Why do some Church members avoid the cross - because of Church doctrine or cultural practice" and "How can the Savior's atoning sacrifice help us find relief from pain and suffering?" By providing answers to these and many other questions, Hilton guides readers to see Calvary in new and powerful ways.

Considering the Cross shows that prophets, both ancient and modern, have taught that the Savior's Crucifixion is a central part of our redemption from sin. Hilton also reviews scriptural teachings about Calvary, the historical realities of Roman crucifixion, Christ's final day in mortality, and how we can use our knowledge of the Crucifixion to better understand gospel ordinances, including those of the temple.

Jesus is both the living Christ and, as manifested through his death, the loving Christ. Above all, this book is about finding increased peace and happiness by coming closer to him. Jesus bore burdens so he can lighten our loads, he experienced pain so he can offer us peace, and he suffered for our sins so we could be free to follow and become like him.
