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.

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.

Amazing account of our Lord’s passion

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

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.

Great book. Okay narration.

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

Excellent

I used this book as a meditation during the Triduum and it was a wonderful meditation but the narrator's stilted style and poor pronunciation of even common biblical names as well as basics such as "Pharisees" and "Saducees" made it difficult to listen to.

Narrator's reading and pronunciation very poor

While the text is one of my favorite deeply moving sources for Lenten meditation, the reader's pronunciation has made it where I can not finish it because the distraction of the bad pronunciation completely destroys the text.
OK, the word vouchsafe; I can forgive that one because no one but traditional Catholics would have really heard that word. However, Pha-REE-zee?! Come on, man! And then there are words like concupiscence, which, granted, is not a common word in the modern world, but he actually adds extra letters!
It is very unfortunate because the voice is very pleasant, so I hope there is a way that these critiques in my and others' reviews can reach him so that he can become an excellent narrator !

Sound it out! Bad pronunciation makes it unusable
