Synopses & Reviews
Two top Jesus experts explore the last seven days of Jesus's life, from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem to his march to the cross. Their goal: To retell a story everyone thinks they know too well and most do not seem to know at all. Using the best of biblical and historical scholarship, bestselling authors and leading Jesus scholars Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan shed new light on Jesus's final days in Jerusalem, revealing their true significance in history and for faith. Rather than collapse Holy Week into its last three days, as Christian liturgy does, they use as their basis the gospel of Mark: a chronicle of Jesus's last week day-by-day and eventually hour-by-hour.
