#1136: Ch. 1A, Bk. 2, The Seven Words on the Cross by St. Robert Bellarmine

I’m posting more links to this week’s bonus book, The Seven Words on the Cross. This chapter on “darkness covered the earth” is pretty interesting, and I wish I knew more about Bellarmine’s sources or the current state of scholarship on them. But I don’t. So you probably want to hold back a little; there are other cool ways the sun could be darkened, and I’m a bit nervous about absolute declarations on the celestial mechanics of a miracle. OTOH, if you were omnipotent and wanted to make a point, why not do something really showy?

Book 2, Chapter 1A: “Darkness covered the whole earth, and the sun was darkened.”
