Description

Darby on the suffering Christ: humility, obedience, the cost of a redemption that is not abstract. The Man of Sorrows is Protestant devotion in a tight key — Scripture, piety, and a call to live as if the Passion were not a picture. Short, grave, meant to be used. Not a biography of Jesus but a gaze at the Passion as pattern. Darby writes for believers who want the cost named, not decorated. Devotion with a hard edge of doctrine. Devotion with a hard edge of doctrine, meant to be used.

Author

John Nelson Darby (1800–1882) was an Anglo-Irish Bible teacher and a founding voice of the Plymouth Brethren. He is widely regarded as the father of modern dispensationalism and of the pre-tribulation rapture teaching that later shaped much of evangelical prophecy study. Darby's writings combine close scriptural exegesis with a stark sense of the church's calling.
