The Shadow of the Cross: An Allegory

1870 · 94 pages

This is a religious allegorical work by Rev. W. Adams, published by Rivingtons in 1870. "The Shadow of the Cross" presents a visionary narrative in which the narrator observes from a mountain a paradisiacal garden bordered by a silver stream, where children of a great King dwell. Each child holds a cross that casts protective shadows; only objects marked by the cross's shadow are safe to touch or traverse, as the garden contains hidden dangers—poisoned fruits, serpents, snares, and lions—placed by an enemy who corrupted the land. The Father provides strength and sight to those genuinely seeking guidance through the cross's shadow. The narrative follows one child named Innocence, whose pure devotion to following the cross's shadow exemplifies proper faith. Upon her death, her influence—the shadow's mark—persists in the garden, brightening through others' tears and inspiring similar shadows from companions' crosses. The work explores Christian allegory concerning faith, temptation, and spiritual protection.
