The Book Club is an opportunity to engage in dialogue focused on the key themes and ideas in the chosen book for the year. Each week one or two chapters will be the focus of discussion.
Entering the Passion of Jesus: A beginner’s guide to Holy Week
Jesus’ final days were full of risk. Every move he made was filled with anticipation, danger, and the potential for great loss or great reward.
Jesus risked his reputation when he entered Jerusalem in a victory parade. He risked his life when he dared to teach in the Temple. His followers risked everything when they left behind their homes, or anointed him with costly perfume. We take risks as we read and re-read these stories, finding new meanings and new challenges.
Professor Levine is the Professor of New Testament & Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School USA. She is an internationally renowned scholar and teacher and the author of numerous books including Jesus the Misunderstood Jew and the Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi.
