Produktbeschreibung
What the Gospels don't reveal about Christ's suffering, science does. The Gospels reveal only the barest essentials about the physical sufferings of Our Lord. But in this mind-opening book, Dr. Pierre Barbet relies heavily on his close analysis of the Holy Shroud of Turin to recreate every stage of the Passion with heart-rending precision and detail. The result: a minor classic of spirituality by a modern layman. Dr. Barbet was a devout believer who knew the spiritual value of his findings - and he encouraged priests and pastors to use them: "It is largely with a view to these clerics that I have wished to divulge my ideas, so that they may nourish their devotion to Jesus crucified and may bring it out in their preaching." This classic, with its engrossing and sympathetic medical portrayal of the Passion, has ignited religious devotion in clerics and laymen for over half a century.
Autorenporträt
Surgeon, classicist, linguist, archaeologist, liturgist, and all-round scholar, Pierre Barbet applied a full, rich lifetime of thought, experience, and study to the problem of Christ's sufferings and death. Born in 1883, Dr. Barbet took his medical training in Paris. He served as surgeon in several hospitals while also giving instruction in anatomy. He served four years as surgeon in the French army during World War I. Deeply interested in the literature of other countries, he was especially competent in Greek and Latin, which proved highly useful in his study of Christ's sufferings, and he published translations of Dante, Michelangelo, and Jacopone da Todi from Italian. He had an absorbing interest in Christian archaeology and amassed a large library on the history of art.
