Opis

Christian tradition draws its understanding of the last days of Jesus by conflating and harmonising the four canonical gospels. In doing so, it creates a false picture, which owes much more to Christian theology than to history. In fact, Mark's narrative, the earliest one, on which the other three accounts are based, is itself heavily influenced by the competing theologies and political allegiances of its time. It combines a tripartite central narrative with other traditions and individual stories to create a continuous account. Revd Huggett analyses and comments on these separate narratives and looks behind the storyline to discover the underlying historical events. His conclusions are startling and significant, enabling the reader to understand more clearly both the Christian tradition and the occurrences on which it is founded.
