The Last Words from the Cross

William Powell Tuck’s, The Last Words from the Cross, gives this generation a fresh and tender insight into the last words of Christ from the cross. Tuck’s ability to strip away many common and often wrongly held beliefs and traditions about Jesus’ final words from Calvary is deeply thought-provoking. Tuck provides powerful and poignantly descriptive details into the humanity of Jesus as he processed the raw, gut-wrenching emotions of forgiveness and compassion and ultimate separation from his father.

Tuck’s well researched work brings the reader to the foot of the cross as if transported in time to Christ’s crucifixion. As you read, be prepared for a gamut of emotions to sweep through your heart and mind. From moments of ecstasy and joy, to those mixed with tension and profound grief, Tuck helps the reader to grasp the tremendous price that was paid on a Roman cross for humanity. Truly, Tuck has captured in a most remarkable way the essence of God’s love shown through his son’s last words from the cross.

Over the years Dr. William Powell Tuck has written a number of books that have encouraged and challenged readers from a variety of backgrounds. His latest work, The Last Words from the Cross, though short in length, may be his finest effort. Dr. Tuck explores Jesus’ final words from the cross in a devotional manner, creatively incorporating decades of pastoral experience and the best of contemporary scholarship. The result is an engaging reflection which invites the reader to ponder not simply Jesus’ death but the whole of his life as well as the implications for all who seek to follow him.
