Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jesus Crucified: Readings and Meditations on the Passion and Death of Our Redeemer
In the literature of our Redeemer's passion and death there are great authors, whose works are of permanent value for meditation on that most sacred subject. Such are St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Alphonsus, Ludolph the Saxon, the Augustinian Father Thomas of Jesus, and some others. But men must always write on this theme, giving us from time to time books of more or less merit, aiding devout souls to consider more intelligently the great events of our redemption, and contributing by new works to a fresh study of the ever ancient and ever new lessons of Christ's passion. These less gifted writers stimulate within their own circle of influence, however narrow, a more intimate familiarity with Jesus Cruc1fied, and play a useful part in the curren? Devotional life of the Christian people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
