Donald Senior, C.P., has labored long to fathom and share the meaning of the passion of Jesus in all its aspects. The passion narratives have been a major focus of his scholarly career, beginning with his doctoral dissertation at the University of Louvain on the passion narrative according to Matthew, considered to be a significant contribution to scholarship on the death of Jesus. Now the harvest of his years of biblical, theological and historical studies on shared in four volumes.
The passion is the climactic event in each of the gospels. These volumes elucidate the passion in its historical background and explore its theological breadth and depth. With scholarly finesse and deep pastoral awareness, the author sets the vibrant message of the passion speaking to our lives and times. These volumes will be respected wherever and whenever the passion is read.
