Death on a Friday Afternoon
Meditations On The Last Words Of Jesus From The Cross

Author: Richard John Neuhaus

Numerous writers and composers have been captivated by the suggestiveness of Jesus’ Seven Last Words. But the beloved, recently deceased Fr. Richard John Neuhaus’s sustained exploration of these utterances is something altogether different. Through them he plumbs the depths of human experience and sets forth the central narrative of Western civilization—the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ—in a way that engages the attention of believers, unbelievers, and those who are not sure what they believe. Death on a Friday Afternoon is an invitation to the reader into a spiritual and intellectual exploration of the dark side of human experience with the promise of light and life on the far side of darkness.
“A book for all seasons of the year and for every stage of one’s journey through life.”
— Mary Ann Glendon, former United States Ambassador to the Holy See
“A masterful achievement.”
— Philip Zaleski, author of The Recollected Heart and editor of Gifts of the Spirit
