Award-winning author of Titus: A Comrade of the Cross, Florence Kingsley has written another gripping drama that begins seventeen years after the crucifixion. The Cross Triumphant powerfully portrays the chilling events that led to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Loyal Jews desperately clung to the burdensome sacrifices and traditions of The Law—in spite of the evil hypocrisy within its highest ranks—in a futile attempt to bring cleansing and forgiveness to their empty souls. Roman persecution prevailed under the mighty hand of Nero. Corruption reigned. Yet, amidst the turmoil and destruction, hope is birthed and a remnant of believers in the true Messiah cried out, “The grave could not hold Him; He lives today and forever!”

These were days of confusion for the young Nazarite, Phannias, who was determined to find out the truth. The Law had entered into every moment of his waking life, filling his mind with the never-ending clamor of “thou shalts” and “thou shalt nots,” for one day he would dwell in the Temple. Would the horrific events that had shaken the world blind him to the loving presence of the world’s perfect Burden-bearer? If you enjoyed Titus, you will not want to miss this classic! 

The Cross Triumphant is part of the Epic Collection.
