The "partly abstractionist, partly representational...cast iron assembly shows a shielded figure of Jesus, one hand upraised," notes the Online Art Tour of Huntsville. Marianist Brother Melvin Moyer of Kirkwood, Missouri created the work in 1979.

A small plaque at the base of the statue notes it as a gift of the Catholic Student Center (C.S.C.) Faith Community, 1988-1992.
