Summary "The Cross: A Tract for the Times" by J. C. Ryle is a religious pamphlet written in the mid-19th century, during the Victorian era. This work explores the central significance of the cross of Christ in Christian faith and is particularly aimed at encouraging readers to reflect deeply on their beliefs regarding Christ's crucifixion and its implications for salvation. Ryle argues that true faith hinges upon the understanding and acceptance of the redemptive work accomplished through the cross. In this tract, J. C. Ryle draws upon the teachings of the Apostle Paul, emphasizing that Paul gloried only in the cross of Christ and not in any personal merits or religious practices. Ryle outlines various aspects which Paul did not trust for salvation, including national identity, good works, knowledge, and churchmanship, explaining that faith must rest solely on Christ's sacrifice. He encourages readers to view the cross as the ultimate demonstration of God's love, confronting the seriousness of sin and the completeness of salvation offered through Christ. Throughout the pamphlet, Ryle passionately advocates for a faith centered on the cross, arguing that it is essential for a true understanding of Christianity, which he believes should be a source of hope, assurance, and motivation for holy living.
