Description
Christ’s seven last words from the cross have long been a source of mirrored image, challenge, and soul-looking out. These easy statements contain the whole range of human emotions and divine self-revelation: grief, compassion, despair, forgiveness, physical need, the promise of redemption. In some ways they embody the core of the gospel. On this brief book one in all these days’s so much noted church persons and preachers confronts the reader with the seven last word’s claim on her or his life. Written with the clarity, depth, and insight which are Will Willimon’s trademark, this book offers afresh the challenge and grace of the message of the Crucified One.
