The Cross before Constantine is written by Bruce W. Longenecker and published by Fortress Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1506400361 (ISBN 10) and 9781506400365 (ISBN 13).
Upending a longstanding consensus, Bruce W. Longenecker presents a wide variety of material artifacts to illustrate that Christians made use of the cross as a visual symbol of their faith long before Constantine appropriated it to consolidate his power in the fourth century. Constantine did not invent the cross as a symbol of Christian faith; for an impressive number of Christians before Constantine’s reign, the cross served as a visual symbol of commitment to a living deity in a dangerous world.
