About This Book

A devotional history traces the Passion narrative from the midnight arrest through the Jewish and Roman examinations, the journey to execution, the crucifixion with its surrounding witnesses, the seven sayings from the cross, death, and burial. Working closely with the Gospel accounts, the author sets episodes in sequence, compares variant details, and integrates historical and exegetical observations. Each chapter focuses on a specific incident or utterance, balancing descriptive reconstruction with sober pastoral reflection intended to deepen understanding and devotion without theatrical sentimentality.
