'Full of profound insights ... These meditations on Christ's Passion culminate in a completely convincing understanding of the Resurrection. Rolheiser's great gift is to make faith real. This deserves to become a classic.' - The Tablet

When we think of Jesus' passion and crucifixion, we often think of his

physical suffering and death. But the Gospels themselves do not

emphasise Jesus' physical sufferings; instead, the Gospel writers want

us to understand Jesus as a faithful lover of humanity, who undergoes

moral and emotional suffering without resentment or bitterness.

Drawing from Scripture, story, theology, contemporary culture and his

own life, Fr Ronald Rolheiser - one of the most influential spiritual

writers of our day - invites us to a new understanding of redemption,

and offers profound insights into the meaning of our own loss and

suffering.
