‘Martin was exceptionally gifted intellectually. For all his familiarity with the Christology of the Church, his work does not merely pour old wine into old wineskins. There is something striking, fresh, thought-demanding, about his whole approach.’ — SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON<\/p>\n
Calvary cast a shadow over the whole of Christ\u2019s ministry. It was, however, in the last hours of his earthly life that he entered into the full consciousness of \u2018the cup\u2019 of suffering which he had to drink.<\/p>\n
In The Shadow of Calvary<\/em> Hugh Martin leads us through the awesome events in the garden of Gethsamane and the arrest and the trial of Jesus Christ. These he interprets in the light of the fulfillment of the Scriptures and the subsequent fruit of Christ\u2019s suffering.<\/p>\n Like Martin\u2019s other published writings this volume is profound yet practical, and intended, as Dr John Duncan said of Martin\u2019s work in general, to promote \u2018both the doctrine which is according to godliness and the godliness which is according to doctrine\u2019.<\/p>\n It was the opinion of Professor John Murray, that among the \u2018galaxy of gifted and devoted ministers of the gospel\u2019 in Scotland during the nineteenth century, \u2018none deserves more honour than Hugh Martin. No one could scale higher heights of sanctificed eloquence.\u2019<\/p>\nDerek Thomas on The Shadow of Calvary<\/em><\/h2>\n
