A hard-hitting meditation on the Stations of the Cross. M G Magill reminds us of the sheer brutality involved in the crucifixion, and the dramatic events leading up to that moment. This is a very different way of the cross and brings vividly to life the Passion of Christ. Magill's words will make readers feel that they are really present in the noisy, chaotic and violent scenes surrounding Jesus and his followers. The meditation is based on research by leading scripture scholars such as Charpentier and Murphy-O'Connor.
