The Shadow of Calvary — Hugh Martin’s Reverent Meditations on the Cross and the Passion of Christ Part 1
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review ★★★★★ (5/5 — Profound Catholic Devotional Theology)
The Shadow of Calvary by Hugh Martin is a deeply reverent and penetrating meditation on the Passion of Our Lord, written with theological seriousness, pastoral warmth, and profound respect for the mystery of the Cross. Though Martin writes from a Protestant background, his treatment of Christ’s suffering, redemptive sacrifice, and substitutionary atonement resonates strongly with historic Catholic teaching on the salvific meaning of Calvary. The work invites the listener into sober contemplation, humility, repentance, and awe before divine love poured out through suffering. Highly recommended for Lenten listening, Passiontide devotion, and serious spiritual reflection.
