Christ in His Sufferings (Vol. 1)

The author of this volume on the suffering of our Redeemer ought to become well known in English-speaking countries. He is one of the most talented theologians of his day in the Netherlands. He is a deep thinker and an author whose writing are scintillating. They abound in paradoxes, which may not always be easily understood at first, but when thought through, like the well-beaten oil of the sanctuary they bring about keen intellectual satisfaction, discover new exegetical treasures in the Book of Books, and cause the reader to admire the exegetical keenness of Dr. K. Schilder.

. . . He has published several books, the chief of which are three volumes on the Suffering of our Lord. Each of these three books is complete in itself. The first one describes the suffering of the Lord Jesus in its initial stages, ending with the Garden of Gethsemane. The second covers the Lord's passion, till He was condemned to be crucified. The third one relates His suffering from the last named stage, ending with a chapter about His burial.

—from the Foreword of August 19, 1937 by Dr. Henry Beets

His three volumes on the passion of Christ, still in print in this country, are landmark works. The only thing wrong with reading them, you know you will never read anything like them again.

—R.J. Rushdoony, as quoted in Faith for all of Life of July/August 2014
