At a time when anti-semitism is once more raising its ugly head, this seems is an important topic for the church to engage with once more.
As many of the most difficult texts appear in the Holy Week and Easter liturgies Lent seems like an ideal time to get prepared. Journey to the Empty Tomb focuses on the events leading up to the first Easter - the Gospel accounts of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem and ending at the empty tomb, Paula Gooder uses her extensive knowledge of the world of the New Testament, its language and culture, to reveal fresh insights and to open up hidden depths in these familiar stories.
A series of scripture-based devotions for personal or group use in Lent and Holy Week. Similar in intent to the traditional Stations of the Cross, it focuses wholly on the biblical narrative of the passion, death and resurrection.
Paula Gooder offers reflections on the scriptural narratives; - Stephen Cottrell considers the story from the perspective of personal discipleship; - Philip North explores the story's challenge to mission and witness.
