What Was Calvary?

I missed this quote the first time I read through In My Place Condemned He Stood, by J.I. Packer & Mark Dever. Thankfully, Pastor Ray Ortlund pointed me back to it a few days ago.

"And the legendary 'Rabbi' Duncan concentrated it all into a single unforgettable sentence, in a famous outburst to one of his classes: 'D'ye know what Calvary was? what? what? what?' Then, with tears on his face -- 'It was damnation; and he took it lovingly.'"
