- Notes
- "[By] Herbert O'Driscoll".
- "I would examine the scripture passages that apply to the specific hours during which our Lord shared a meal with his disciples, was taken by his enemies, endured the horror of crucifixion, died, and moved beyond death to be present with his disciples. .... Having read and reflected on each incident during the four days, I have attempted to do two things: first, to tell the event as vividly as I could, while trying to remain true to the scripture; second, to reflect on some aspect of the endless depths of meaning hidden in the scripture. In doing this, I have had in mind a general readership, for whom this book might serve as a series of short devotional readings. I have also considered those clergy and lay readers who are responsible for preaching homilies, as well as those who lead Bible study groups". -- Preface.
