Description
The story of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus is one of the most famous in history but there is more to understanding the power and significance of these events than knowing the biblical accounts.
At the Cross is an inspirational book which enables us, nearly 2000 years after Jesus'death, to use our imagination to fully engage with the stories which are the culmination of the gospel narratives. By seeing the events unfold through the eyes of eleven people who were with Jesus at the time we are able to respond personally to the Jesus who suffered and died for us.
The authors' stimulating exploration of the passion and crucifixion through the eyes of characters including Mary Magdalene, Peter and Pontius Pilate is accompanied by material for reflection and meditation. Prayers and excerpts from selected texts, as well as specially commissioned wood-cuts, provide a powerful expression of each personality and their role.
Designed for more than simply reading, this book is ideal for Lent use, and provides a profound way of enabling the power of Jesus and his crucifixion to touch our lives at any time.
