Passion: Contemporary writers on the story of Calvary
₹160.00
The gospel narratives of Jesus’ passion and death hold a unique place in Christian devotion. In this book five distinguished American writers wrestle with these narratives in ways that draw readers more closely into the texts. In writing on Luke, for example, Stephanie Saldana, who lives and writes in Jerusalem, takes the reader to the sites of Holy Week, meditating on the story and her experiences of living in a torn city. Julia Alvarez begins with her memories of the Stations of the Cross as a young girl in the Dominican Republic and then reflects on how reading the Gospel of Mark makes her look more carefully at the stories behind the Stations. John Elder contrasts the tension and anger in Matthew’s story with the vision of Jesus he learned from the family. Jay Parini reflects on the ways he has read the Gospel of John at different stages of his life. Finally, Elizabeth Cook wrestles with the challenge of rewriting the Passion for the twenty-first century, not for readers but for audience who hear her libretto sung to very contemporary music.
