The Bible is nothing more than the story of God’s passion for human beings. Taken with mad love for the human beings, God is «in love with the beauty of his creation.» This is why Christians should keep on reading the Passion tales. Card. Martini was so persuaded of this truth, that he dedicated to the Passion tales several meditations, now collected in this volume. For his reflections, Martini chooses to use a series of
“Biblical paintings.” The first stars Peter, and the believers recognizes the man who sees all his certainties failing, but other Biblical figures follow quickly: Judah, the guards, Pilate... A dense comment on the Passion narratives, full of realism, wisdom and hope. First volume of a series collecting for the first time the most beautiful Biblical meditations by Card. Martini. A proposal for a strong, open spirituality for believers and searching people.
