An excellent quality resource that should be on every pastor's shelf. A thorough synthesis of academic material on the passion narratives, Brown is consistent in offering deep insights and faithful readings of the text.
A magisterial book, which shows the depth of understanding and knowledge that is displayed so elegantly in his "Preaching Christ" series
