425 page book.

In The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Archbishop Alban Goodier, S.J., offers a profound and reverent study of the final days of Christ, drawn directly from the four Gospels and interpreted in the light of Catholic tradition. Rejecting speculative excess and purely dramatic retellings, Goodier keeps his focus firmly on the Person of Christ—His words, His silence, His intentions, and His love—seeking to understand the Passion as it was lived interiorly by Our Lord Himself.

Moving carefully from the events preceding the Last Supper through Calvary and the Burial, the author combines scriptural harmony, patristic insight, and spiritual reflection to illuminate not only what occurred, but what it reveals about the Heart of Christ. Written with clarity, restraint, and deep theological sensitivity, this classic work is especially suited for serious Lenten reading, priestly meditation, and all who desire a deeper understanding of the mystery of Christ crucified and its meaning for the soul today.
