Born in Greenock, Scotland, 1855, John Todd Ferrier served as a minister in the Congregational Church. In 1904 he created The Order Of The Cross, an informal spiritual fellowship of pacifist, vegetarian or vegan members. He believed the message of Jesus had been corrupted by mainstream Christianity, and intended to restore spirituality to individuals, leading to a state of mystical illumination.

Includes chapters on The Tetragrammaton, The Solar Mystery, Spectra of Souls and Stars and The Sacred Heart.
