Illuminated by paintings including Sir Edward John Poynter's "The Prodigal's Return," Amedeo Bocchi's "On the Lawn," Jacopo Bassano's "The Last Supper," Caravaggio's "The Taking of Christ," Antonio Ciseri's "Ecce Homo," Salvador Dali's "Christ of St. John of the Cross" and El Greco's "Piet," McGrath's new volume vividly explores the divine compassion that led God to sacrifice his only Son to save a world oppressed and unable to help itself.
