Reviews
The Silence of Calvaryis an evocative and contemplative book that explores and exposes the story of the crucifixion in a new way. . . . Here, by moving into silence instead of words, Christopher Webber offers rich and challenging insights. This book is the perfect companion for Lent and Holy Week. -Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook, Claremont School of Theology, Bloy House, the Episcopal School of Theology at Los Angeles In an era of frenetic activity and overflowing words, social media and twenty-four-hour news, Christopher Webber invites us to be silent before the work of Christ on the cross. There, we encounter both the seriousness of the human condition and the love of God for each one of us. This book is ideal for Lent or Holy Week devotions, but it can and should be returned to throughout the liturgical year as we keep the cross always before our eyes. -Kara N. Slade, Associate Rector of Trinity Church, Princeton, Canon Theologian of the Diocese of New Jersey
