"This reverent book will be of value to believers, whether Protestant or Catholic." Reinhold Niebuhr, The New York Times "This is a book about the most dramatic day in the history of the world, the day on which Jesus of Nazareth died. It opens at six P.M.—the beginning of the Hebrew day—with Jesus and ten of the apostles coming through the pass between the Mount of Olives and the Mount of Offense en route to Jerusalem and the Last Supper. It closes at four P.M. the following afternoon, when Jesus was taken down from the cross. . . . The fundamental research was done a long time ago by four fine journalists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The rest has been added in bits and pieces from many men whose names span the centuries." —from the Foreword "Intensely dramatic . . . makes one feel that the 'greatest story ever told' was here told for the first time." —Kirkus Reviews "A helpful word picture of 'the Jewish world' at the time of Christ." -Chicago Sunday Tribune "Highly recommended." —Library Journal "A worthwhile book . . . of value to all Christians who would like to read the great story once again." -Catholic World
