First published in German in 1854 and reissued in English in 1856, F. W. Krummacher’s The Suffering Savior is a classic of nineteenth-century German pietism. In fifty-three meditations, Krummacher traces the last days of Christ from the announcement of his death to bewildered disciples through his sufferings in Gethsemane to Christ’s internment in the grave and the eschatological hope of the resurrection. Krummacher’s language, characteristic of the movement to which he belonged, is reverent and uplifting.
Of all the devotional manuals and chronicles of our Lord’s life published in the nineteenth-century, Krummacher’s ranks among the finest and most popular. This edition of Krummacher’s classic, printed in 2004, is the best modern printing. It consists of a reset version of Samuel Jackson’s English translation without abridgments or modernizations. Those unfamiliar with Krummacher’s work and ministry will find the publisher’s biographical introduction helpful. - Randall J. Pederson, Westminster Bookstore Staff, August 2007
