excellent, easy to read. tells the story mostly from Mark's gospel, as Mark actually described events that happened each day of holy week from Palm Sunday's procession to Easter Sunday. and Mark was the first gospel written. from time to time, other gospels are compared and contrasted. The authors bring in history of the time plus the author's point of view. very interesting points made. will make you think. Mark portrays Jesus as continually reminding the followers that they are missing the point. he wants them to follow his "way," live the way he shows them, include all, show mercy, have fellowship with all. Mark also points out that the established government system of the day was a dominance system by the Romans and also the Jewish rulers who did as the Romans wished and together they kept the Jewish people poor and powerless. Jesus was in direct opposition to that dominance system. Jesus wanted justice and equity, the complete opposite of what was happening. and the government didn't like his comments which eventually got him killed. God had the last word though and said yes to Jesus' way with Easter and no to the dominance way. As the authors say you only thought you knew everything there was to know about Holy week. we bring to the story our own understandings from what we've heard or been taught when we were young. this book explains how Mark and the other gospel writers sometimes covered different parts of the story and somehow we learned the combined story which wasn't ever combined by the authors who wrote the various versions of it. I want to read more by these authors.
Recommended by a friend, I read this before and during Holy Week. I am re-reading parts because even though on the first read-through, I learned a lot, I'm still not sure about some events of that week. It is a helpful back-up to our study groups on the New Testament. I now believe that everyone and everything is within the circle that is the Holy Spirit. Believing this, I've started praying for terrorists, that they hear the call to go home. I find myself treating others with more kindness.I'm still struggling with the crucifixion, what it means and if it is to be taken literally. My faith journey continues.
I wasn't impressed. The book is written for a popular audience. It is lacking the depth I had expected from these Jesus scholars. The authors state the thesis of the book: "Seeing the political meaning of Good Friday and Easter can help us to recover the political meaning of Jesus and the Bible as a whole."I prefer the third wave of historical Jesus research that places Jesus in his Jewish context so this second wave proposed by these authors seems outdated to me.
This book looks at the last week of Jesus, via the biblical book of Mark (the earliest Gospel, and the book which Matthew and Luke partially based their's on). The authors of "The Last Week", Borg and Crossan, are two of the most well-known, biblical scholars who have written about the historical Jesus (via The Jesus Seminar, and in later Christian books). I find their writing, esp. Borg's, to be written in an easy-to-understand language, which explains hightly theological concepts in a simpler way which does NOT talk down to you. In separate chapters the authors, look at Palm Sunday, Monday through Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Saturday, and Easter Sunday, and give us an understanding of what the last week of Jesus' life was possibly like, and what meaning it had for Mark's specific Christian community, which he was writing to / for. Be forewarned the both Borg and Crossan are definitely progressive Christians, and write from that stance, so there is the definite comparison of Jesus' Kingdom of God to that of Rome's Kingdom of Empire (and empire in our time). With its 8 full-but-not-too-long chapters and study questions at the end of the book, this is perfect for a small group discussion in the weeks leading up to Easter. I highly recommend it, as a way to more fully get a better picture of the reason(s) behind Jesus' death by crucifixion.
