Ecce Homo: Behold the Man: Ethical Imperatives of the Lenten Journey

"These presentations were originally delivered some years ago in the Westminster Canterbury Lenten Lecture Series in Richmond, Virginia. The lectures embark on a Lenten journey, following a path that begins with Pilate's charge to the crowd-"Behold the Man"-and ends with Christ's summons to his disciples-"Look at my hands and feet . . . Touch me and see." What does Lent invite us to see-about God, about the world in which we live, about ourselves-that we had not seen clearly enough before we began this journey? What are we charged to touch and feel? What must we do, how must not only our words but also our deeds be different, if Easter rituals are to be anything more than sacramental babble?"--
