The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

By: Anne Catherine Emmerich

Narrated by: Ellis Freeman

The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is an account of the events leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, dictated by a 19th-century German stigmatic and visionary, Anne Catherine Emmerich. Emmerich was nearly illiterate, so she dictated the text to the poet Clemens Brentano. The narrative contains many small details that do not occur in the Gospel narratives, and the sublime poetics and lofty imagery in the book have led scholars to suspect that Brentano may have embellished Anne’s descriptions as he write them down. This account of Anne's visions should therefore be appreciated for its meditative worth rather than for its historical accuracy.

Great book. Okay narration.

Nothing much can be said about the book itself. It is an inspirational account of the private revelations to a holy nun. It's not dogmatic but it is meant to incite pious thoughts.

The narration is okay. He mispronounced several words and can be distracting. He says phar-i'-see instead of phar'isee, gali'lian instead of ga'lile'an. Other than that, it's okay.

Excellent

My only criticism is the reader’s mispronunciation of several biblical and Catholic words (novena, Pharisee, Sadducee, Galilean, …).

Divine perfection

Any conments would be vanity. Divine perfection of the most Holly Saint of our beloved LORD JÉSUS.

Amazing account of our Lord’s passion

This is an amazing story. The voice was nice and calming but many words were mispronounced as if he was unaware. This continued the the whole book. I believe chapter 17 was omitted completely. It is another chapter he reads and then returns to 18. This should to fixed. That was an important chapter. Otherwise, I throughly enjoyed it.

clearly. narrated but names misprounced

the narrator in the names are strongly mis pronounced! Pilot, pe lot? no.
Nicodemus, nicodaous, pharosees, precise! what?
