Focusing on the historical significance of the cross, Bruce W. Longenecker challenges the belief that its use as a Christian symbol began with Constantine. He presents diverse artifacts that reveal how early Christians employed the cross as a powerful emblem of their faith and dedication to a living deity, even in perilous circumstances, long before it became associated with imperial power in the fourth century.
