Schilder Trilogy

by Harold John Ockenga

CHRIST IN HIS SUFFERINGS, CHRIST ON TRIAL, and CHRIST CRUCIFIED - These superb works are without equal in modern literature. Schilder brings the reader into touch with the spiritual and temporal forces which converged during the Passion Week. He is careful to keep Christ central, and he blends in a masterful way this culmination of our Lord's earthly life with historical facts and psychological realities. These three books are part of Klock & Klock's Limited Classical Reprint Library. The books were written by Klaas Schilder, PhD. (1890 – 1952) who was a Dutch Neo-Calvinist theologian and professor in the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands. Originally written in 1938, this is the Klock & Klock 1978 reprint edition. This three-part work called, Christus in Zijn lijden, is commonly known in English as The Schilder or Lenten Trilogy. In The Minister's Library, Cyril Barber ''Theologically accurate, abounds in suggestive insights, and provides exegetical illumination for a score of Easter sermons. It is a classic treatment on the passion of Christ. It deserves a place in every Christian's library. The three volumes cover the night of His betrayal to His condemnation . . . [it is] a learned, accurate treatment.'' Schilder was a man of many gifts, without any doubt. Anyone who has read his writings, even some of them, will readily acknowledge that he possessed the ability to look at various theological questions in different ways and to express his ideas in sometimes eloquent ways which were often fresh and new. These books include 80 of his sermons over 1,577 pages. You will not be the same after you have followed Christ through these stirring looks that Schilder gives you - you will be a better Christian, by far.
