Gethsemane, the place of the deepest sorrows of Christ, is where we see our Savior feeling the beginning of His last part of humiliation, trials, and sufferings that would culminate at the Cross. The events surrounding the tree major events - Gethsemane, the arrest, and trial of Christ - are developing so fast in the Gospel accounts, that we are apt to leave out many of the most precious truths about the humiliation and sufferings of the Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Follow the author as he seeks to expound on the three major events before the death of Christ, showing how we should look at these and how they apply to our very lives. Your devotion to Christ will be richly blessed. Hugh Martin (1822-1885) was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor, best known for his doctrinal books on the atonement. This book has been originally published in 1875. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and updated for modern readers.

The fallen cross stands as a symbol for the spiritual condition of the church of Jesus Christ in the early days of the twenty-first century. In many places and many churches, the cross has fallen to the ground. Instead of boasting in the cross, we have neglected it, substituting in its place religious activity and therapeutic language designed to help us feel better about ourselves...And yet, when the story is truly told, it must be said that Christianity is supremely the religion of the cross. At the center of our faith a dying man hangs suspended between heaven and earth. Pastor Ray Pritchard takes a fresh look at the cross and the God-man on it and asks: who is He? why is He there? what are the words he is speaking? What did the cross mean to God? What did the cross mean to Satan? What does the cross mean to you today? Pastor Ray Pritchard asks these spiritually provocative questions in what will prove to be a spiritual tonic for your soul. Center your world around the anchor of our faith -- the cross. Discover the atonement found where grace and wrath meet. Linger at the foot of the cross.

"We recommend the 'Shadow of Calvary' to our readers, as an excellent book for Sabbath reading, and we trust it will have a large circulation. It abounds in close heart-searching appeals to the unbelieving and impenitent, and with rich consolations for the humble child of God." -Original Secession Magazine "It will be seen that Dr. Martin holds very definite theological views, and that he is neither ashamed nor afraid to proclaim them….These lectures, abounding in powerful appeals and stern warmings, are not deficient in tenderness and reverence." -Scotsman The Shadow of Calvary is a classic of Christian literature in which Hugh Martin leads us through the garden of Gethsemane to the arrest and the trial of Jesus.
