This collection of sermons, devotionals, essays, and theological and historical studies reflect on the central event of the Christian faith: Jesus’ Passion and resurrection. Scholarly works explore the historicity of the Gospel accounts, examine the nature of crucifixion in the ancient world, and analyze who is historically culpable for Christ’s death. Then several collections of sermons and theological studies dig into the theological implications of the cross and the implications of Jesus’ final hours for practical Christian living.

Taking the reader from Gethsemane to Jesus’ last words, A. B. Cameron provides 16 dramatic devotional pieces fit for family or personal reading. Cameron’s work is full of rigorous exegesis and extensive Scripture references.
