Publisher's Synopsis
Judging from art, music and literature, Jesus' suffering and death have captured more attention than any other area of his life. From the vast literature devoted to the passion, Brown has selected insights and combined them with his own judgements to produce this work. He avoids hypothetical reconstructions of what preceded the Gospels and concentrates on what the four evangelists actually wrote about Jesus from the moment he left the Last Supper until he was buried.
