The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem

“With skillful storytelling, [Borg and Crossan] transform the tragic tale of Jesus’s Passion into a living event with powerful consequences for today’s pressing concerns of injustice, poverty, terrorism, and war.”—Diana Butler Bass, author of The Practicing Congregation

Bestselling authors and Jesus experts John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg come together to explore the last seven days of Jesus’s life. Using the best of biblical and historical scholarship, they rediscover a new way of understanding the Passion Week and its monumental events, turning the traditional understanding of Passion Week on its head to reveal its true significance in history and for faith. The Last Week reveals the moving story of someone who dared to face imperial wrath to bring a new way of life.
