Publisher's Description

This series of devotional meditations on the final scenes in the life of Christ on earth has been prized by successive generations of Christians ever since its original publication in 1854. Translated almost immediately into English and frequently republished, the book has been described as the greatest single volume of the entire nineteenth century on the last days of Christ’s earthly ministry.

Krummacher organizes his meditations around the structure of the Old Testament tabernacle. The first section, The Outer Court, covers the time from Jesus’ announcement of His approaching death to His discourses on the way to Gethsemane. The central section, the longest, is entitled The Holy Place. It deals with Gethsemane, Judas’ betrayal, Peter’s denial, all the judicial proceedings, Christ’s scourging, and the journey to Calvary. The final section, The Most Holy Place, covers the crucifixion itself, Christ’s sayings from the cross, His agony and death, and His burial.

This is a book to which all Christians, and especially preachers, will want to return frequently, to have their hearts warmed afresh, and their love to, and zeal for, their Saviour rekindled.

Endorsement

The Suffering Saviour is one of the most impressive books I have read on the Passion of Christ. It is deeply spiritual and very edifying to the reader. One can spend a week just reading and rereading one sermon, plumbing its depth for nugget after nugget of spiritual nourishment.

All Christians should have this in their library, whether they be a pastor or Sunday School teacher or lay person. Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to enrich your heart and soul.
