Description: The Hope of Glory: Reflections on the Last Words of Jesus on the Cross Very Good - Text Unmarked - Binding and Cover Clean and Tight - Ready to Ship By -- John Meacham Published by -- Convergent Books, 2020, New York, xiii 128 Pages, 7.75" X 5.5" X .75", 9 oz., ISBN -- 0593236661 / 9780593236666 [DUST JACKET]"Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham explores the seven last sayings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, combining rich historical and theological insights to reflect on the true heart of the Christian story. (...) Meacham delves into that intersection of faith and history in this meditation on the seven phrases Jesus spoke from the cross. Beginning with "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" and ending with "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit," Meacham captures for the reader how these words epitomize Jesus's message of love, not hate; grace, not rage; and, rather than vengeance, extraordinary mercy. For each saying, Meacham composes an essay on the origins of Christianity and how Jesus's final words created a foundation for oral and written traditions that upended the very order of the world. Writing in a tone more intimate than any of his previous works, Jon Meacham returns us to the moment that transformed Jesus from a historical figure into the proclaimed Son of God, worshiped by billions." #FamousLastWords #Bookstagram #BooksBooksBooks #Bookworm #ConvergentBooks #Antiquarian #ReligionSpirituality #CoverArt #booksforsale #Christianity #readersofinstagram #collectiblebooks #JohnMeacham #booksale #instabooks #Pulitzer #Books #CuttleboneBooks #instaread #Gospels #bibliophile #TheHopeOfTheGlory #bookcollecting
