Synopsis

This book is a historical account of the events of Jesus Christ's Passion and Death. It combines exhaustive scholarly detail with penetrating theological insights to present a vivid and deeply moving narrative of these final hours. Engaging with the full range of possible sources, from the canonical Gospels and the writings of the early Church to contemporary historical and archaeological research, the author examines the reasons why the Jewish leaders opposed Jesus, why the Romans condemned him to death, and why his own disciples abandoned him. Readers will find the familiar story of the Passion presented with fresh understanding and depth. The book sets the Passion within the context of first century Jerusalem, its intertwining of Jewish, Roman, and Hellenistic influences, its hopes, and its fears. This compelling and insightful book brings the reader into the heart of the greatest story ever told.
