Though commentaries on the Gospels abound, preachers and Bible students have few resources that draw on all four Gospels to tell the story of Christ's final week of ministry. Up-to-date and informative, 'The Passion of Our Lord' lets each Gospel writer speak in his inspired account of Jesus' passion. Substantial background material informs the author's study, and he weaves into his text copious insights from historical and archaeological sources. He also takes into account Jewish messianic expectations, showing how they, as well as Roman and Jewish laws, shaped events that fateful week. Helpful maps, diagrams, and illustrations support the author's perceptive exposition. Research surrounding the final week of Christ's ministry would not be complete without consulting 'The Passion of Our Lord'.
