THE SCHILDER TRILOGY

Dr. Harold J. Ockenga says, "In all Lenten literature known to me there is no work comparable to the trilogy of Klaas Schilder."

The Schilder Trilogy includes these unsurpassed volumes:

1) Christ on Trial: Gethsemane to the Condemnation-550 pages

2) Christ in His Suffering: Through the Garden Scene-468

pages 3) Christ Crucified: Christ on the Cross; the Seven Words-562 pages

Theologically accurate and abounding in exegetical illumination and challenging insights, this monumental trilogy on the suffering, trial, and crucifixion of Christ is the most complete single-author work available on these aspects of the incarnation. The three vol- umes, chronologically, begin with Peter's confession and end with Jesus' burial.

Volume one describes the suffering of Jesus in its initial stages, end- ing with the Garden of Gethsemane. Volume two covers the Lord's Passion until He was condemned to be crucified. Volume three con- tinues the study through His burial.

With a profound and unusual awareness the author analyzes the re- corded words, gestures and deeds of the Christ from the time He passes through the gate of Jersualem on His way to Golgotha to the moment of His death. Only a theologian who is a psychologist could have traced with such sensitiveness the progress of the redemptive activity within the soul of the Saviour.

While the author keeps the Christ ever at the very center of his discourses, he focuses a searching light on each of the characters who emerge into prominence during the events of that first Good Friday; not because of an interest in them as isolated individuals, but because of the significance of the relationships that exist be- tween them and the Man on the cross.
