Based on the original Stations of the Cross, the reflections in this work by noted Redemptorist theologian Tony Kelly include stations with a more secure biblical basis -- such as the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, and the Resurrection -- in place of the traditional stations without scriptural warrant -- such as Jesus' meeting with his mother and his encounter with Veronica.
With devotion, erudition, and most of all eloquence, Father Kelly follows Jesus through his Passion and Resurrection, from his washing the disciples' feet to his resurrectional appearances in Jerusalem.
But more than that, he conveys a sense of how the Risen Christ continues to be present among all people in their different journeys today, guiding readers to an understanding that 'with Jesus, there is abundant redemption.'

In showing that Jesus' journey is ultimately a triumph for all of us, Behold the Cross is a source of wisdom and witness for all those who seek to make their own way through the darkness of Calvary to the radiance of Easter.
