St. Matthew Passion

by Hans Blumenberg

St. Matthew Passion is Hans Blumenberg's sustained and devastating meditation on Jesus's anguished cry on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

With rare philological acuity and vast historical learning, Blumenberg unfolds context upon context...
