Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Three Hours Agony of Our Blessed Redeemer: Being Addresses in the Form of Meditations, Delivered in St. Alban's Church, Manchester, on Good Friday 1877
The Passion of Jesus is a great Drama. It begins, in the narrow sense of the word, with the Agony in the Garden; it ends with the last cry on the Cross, or the burial in the Sepulchre. It has various stages; scene after scene; act after act; working out just the one central thought of the redemption of mankind. But in that Drama there is one part, one crisis, one catastrophe upon which all the rest turns; and that part, that crisis, that catastrophe is to be found in the' three hours of the exceeding Agony of our Lord in the throes of His mysterious and awful Death. You and I, dear brother and sister, are going to try this morning to gaze simply at that crisis in the Drama. Now what have I to ask you to do in order to gaze with profit?
