Features
- Written for adults and teens: Understood by children as young as 10, but written for adults and teens.
- Assumptions: Assumes that when readers think of God, they think of only one God, and that God is a person, not a force. No other Bible knowledge is assumed.
- Christianized worldview: Ideal for readers who come from a background influenced by Christianity, whether Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox.
- Based on the gospel of John: Uses the gospel of John as a template; at the same time, provides necessary background stories to give the gospel context. It assumes the reader knows very little, if anything, about the Bible.
- Chronological: Begins with the creation of the universe, and then progressing sequentially through key Old Testament stories, it moves into the New Testament to reveal the meaning of the cross and the tomb. The main story of the Bible is tied together into one universal, all-encompassing drama.
- Peels religious tradition off the Bible: Readers are introduced to the Bible without the trappings of religion.
- Objective: The Bible is allowed to speak for itself in presenting the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no arm-twisting to believe. The message is presented objectively; the decision to believe or not to believe is left to the reader.

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus
I first read The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus in the 1990s, when one of the translators gifted it to me. John Cross has written a very readable and panoramic view of Christ foreshadowed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. It is an excellent tool for evangelism, for training up young Christians, and for review by seasoned students of the Bible. I highly recommend this book for personal study and as a great gift for family and friends.

An Enlightening Journey Through the Bible’s Grand Narrative
The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus by John R. Cross is an enlightening and carefully structured exploration of the Bible's central message. The book excels in its chronological approach, walking readers through the grand narrative of Scripture in a way that brings clarity to what may seem like disconnected stories. By presenting the Bible as one coherent story, the author invites both believers and skeptics to reexamine the Bible's claims with fresh eyes. One of the book's most impressive features is its meticulous attention to detail. Cross uses a logical progression to explain key biblical themes and events, making it accessible to readers regardless of their prior knowledge of the Bible. The use of chronological storytelling allows readers to understand how each event fits into the larger picture, and this approach helps break down complex ideas into something more easily digestible. The writing style is warm and inviting, making the book feel more like a conversation than a lecture. Cross writes with a genuine care for his audience, offering explanations that are both thorough and easy to follow. This tone helps readers feel comfortable and engaged, even as they are challenged to rethink their understanding of the Bible. Overall, The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus is a valuable resource for anyone curious about the Bible's message. Whether you've attended church for years or are entirely new to its teachings, this book will guide you thoughtfully through the Bible's core themes, leaving you with a deeper understanding of its relevance today.

Our Wood Point Baptist Church ladies group did this study and it was excellent. A mixture of some newer Christian ladies and some more seasoned Christian ladies. It is straight forward and easy to understand and brought out points we hadn’t thought of. I would highly recommend.

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus
I love this book. It gives such a clear explanation of God's plan of salvation and why we need a deliverer. I have read this book many times with those who are new to English or who are Biblically illiterate. It is amazing to me to watch the Spirit of God open their eyes to the truth. No all who read it with me became believers but they all learned truth from God's word that they hadn't understood before.
