Description

A thought-provoking new meditation by the author of such well known books on the passion and death of our Lord as The Royal Sufferer, Rejected of Men, The Power of the Cross, and others, Man of Sorrows is a penetrating and deeply moving study of the redemptive love of God, revealed in the sufferings of Jesus Christ, and prefigured in the ""Man of Sorrows"" of Isaiah with whose ""stripes we are healed."" Nine chapters expound pertinent passages from Isaiah 50 and 53, and the final chapter, ""Tell My Disciples - and Peter,"" based on a passage from Mark, sets for the triumph of the resurrection, and the redemptive love of God. Always provocative, the Rev. Hoeksema never fails to give new insight into the inexhaustible theme of suffering, death, and resurrection of our Savior Lord. The thoughtful reader will find this new study a rewarding experience.
