2017 Reprint of 1952 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Originally published in 1937, this work discusses the correlation of Christ's early teachings-The Sermon on the Mount-and His dying words on the cross-The Seven Last Words. Sheen has written a compelling plea for a return to these basic teachings of Christ.
