First Things founding editor, the late Richard John Neuhaus, takes us on a profoundly moving and enlightening journey through the meanings of Good Friday.
DEATH ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON: Meditations on the Last Words of Jesus from the Cross by Richard John Neuhaus
Numerous writers and composers have been captivated by the suggestiveness of the Seven Last Words of Christ on the cross. But Richard John Neuhaus’s sustained exploration of these utterances is something altogether different. Through them he plumbs the depths of human experience and sets forth the central narrative of Western civilization – the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ – in a way that engages the attention of believers, unbelievers, and those who are not sure what they believe. Neuhaus invites the reader into a spiritual and intellectual exploration of the dark side of human experience with the promise of light and life on the far side of darkness.
