Publisher's Synopsis
The Host of Gethsemane is a deeply researched field guide to the profound significance of the Garden of Gethsemane. But it is more. It is a labor not only of study, but of love-a defense of Jesus of Gethsemane in every sense of the word. There have been very few books written which are dedicated entirely to the vitally important subject of Gethsemane... until now. The Host of Gethsemane remedies this abandonment of Our Lord's Agony. This is a journey you will be grateful to be part of, as your very readership will contribute to advancing the understanding of Gethsemane as the Sanctuary that it is, in every sense of the word.
TESTIMONIALS "Dr. Annabelle Moseley offers a profound reflection on Christ's agony, illuminating the Eucharistic mystery with scholarly depth and spiritual insight. A truly transformative read." -Archbishop Richard G. Henning, Archdiocese of Boston "Moseley's book is a unique and fascinating venture into the Garden of Gethsemane. There are depths in that garden...far deeper than one expects, and breathtaking." -Keith Berube, PhD cand., author of the books Mary, the Beloved, Mary: The Rosary, the Relationship, and Dragons, and A Love Letter to Mary. "Annabelle Moseley's The Host of Gethsemane underscores the deep continuity between Jesus' Last Supper, His Agony in the Garden, and His death on Golgotha. Jesus' last meal with His disciples, in other words, continues in the Garden when He asks Peter, James, and John to wait with Him as He sweats blood in his anticipation of the suffering to come, and culminates when He drinks the fourth cup of the Passover meal from the cross and spills his blood on God's creation to redeem it and make it anew. I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in deepening their understanding of Jesus' Paschal Mystery." -Dennis J. Billy, C.Ss.R., Professor Emeritus, The Alphonsian Academy of Rome's Pontifical Lateran University, and Professor and Holder of The Robert F. Leavitt Distinguished Service Chair in Theology at St. Mary's
