Often on Good Friday, I try to find and run an applicable quote from Dickens's The Life of Our Lord. This year, the sentence below caught my eye. I think the parenthetical remark in particular is very typical of Dickens — of what he valued, and what attracted him to Christianity.
"Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified; and they, shouting and gathering round Him, and treating Him (who still prayed for them to God) with cruelty and insult, took Him away."
