About this title

Synopsis

"The 'foot of the Cross' is a sacred "household word" in the family of God- rich in the Divine truths and precious in the Christian experience it is employed to express. Adopting this familiar but emphatic phrase, the author has sought in these pages to expound and illustrate, in a few instances, its tender and solemn significance. He has aimed to show how all vital, saving truth centers in, and all sanctifying and comforting blessing springs from, the Cross of Christ." Octavius Winslow stood out as one of the foremost evangelical preachers of the 19th Century. A Baptist minister and contemporary of Charles Spurgeon he seceded to the Anglican church in his last decade. His Christ centered works show devotion and practicality.

About the Author

Octavius Winslow was born in New York, but his ministry was largely in England. He was one of the leading Baptist ministers of the 19th century, largely due to the devotional earnestness and the practical excellence of his writings. Winslow was prolific, authoring more than forty books. He was also a noted speaker, giving the address for the opening of Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tablernacle in 1861. Winslow clung to the theology of the old Puritans. His life was devoted to the promotion of an experimental knowledge of the precious truths of God.
