Christian life and society. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the historical and cultural dimensions of the Cross, noting its use as a sacred symbol even before the advent of Christianity. Tyack highlights instances of the Cross's presence in pre-Christian societies and discusses early Christian attitudes towards the Cross, emphasizing the challenges they faced in openly displaying it due to the stigma associated with crucifixion.
