Description
In this insightful meditation on the passion story, Jerome Machar, a Trappist monk, offers unique insights and perspectives on Christ's last days and, in fact, on all of scripture. With the skill of a detective and the wisdom of a contemplative, Machar draws on diverse resources to uncover unexpected levels of meaning in the text of the redemption story.While a scientific approach to scripture may have its place, says Machar, it cannot fully discover the richness of truth which it contains.
