Preface

Each year sees an increase in the number of churches and Christian people observing Easter and the days immediately preceding as a time of special religious emphasis. The custom once confined almost wholly to non-liturgical churches has now become well nigh universal. The fact that we are more definitely informed concerning the chronology of this last week than of any other period of our Lord’s life lends appropriateness to the celebration of the anniversary as the Spring of each year brings it forcibly before the thought of reverent Christian people.

Several years ago the author of this volume in company with other ministers of suburban Chicago prepared the interwoven Gospel narrative known as i 1 His Last Week.” This has met a hearty welcome not only in every branch of the English-speaking Church, but in every land where the English language is known. The wide reception given to this booklet brought a demand for a larger work containing helps and comments for ministers, teachers and others. There is almost total dearth of such literature.

Guided by the large numbers of letters received from ministers and others, this book has been prepared. It is intended first of all for the assistance of ministers, but it is believed that many teachers and other Christian people will find it also of service.

The Scripture narrative herein contained is a new interwoven text from the American Standard Bible, based upon and following the paragraph divisions and headings of “His Last Week.”
