Yet too often, they are treated solely as objects of theological study. In this powerful new work, Casey J. Chalk not only explains the theological meaning of these words but explains that they represent far more: They are a framework for living a saintly life and dying a holy death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With insights drawn from Scripture, Church Fathers, medieval theologians, and great literary minds, Chalk describes how the Church has traditionally understood Christ's final utterances, and he reveals how each of them imparts a vital lesson for daily discipleship -- showing us how to forgive, endure suffering, give of ourselves in love, and thirst for souls as Christ did. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Alongside thinkers such as St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Robert Bellarmine, and Ven. Fulton J. Sheen, Chalk brings the Seven Last Words to life with modern relevance and vivid real-world examples that speak to every struggle of the human heart.
