Publisher's summary

Each of the four Gospels tells only part of the story of Jesus...and all of them leave out background facts that are essential to understanding events surrounding Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion.

That's because the Gospels were written for readers already familiar with many of the persons, places, parties, and politics that governed events in those long-past days. Not for modern audiences, 20 centuries later!

Which is why Fr. Ralph Gorman has here crafted a single, unforgettable, detailed account that combines material from all four Gospels with critically important Old Testament passages, plus relevant facts from Jewish and Roman history, laws, traditions, and practices. He also includes helpful first-century military, political, geographical, and archaeological information and keen depictions of Gospel places based on his three years residence there.

The result?

A richly textured, moment-by-moment account that brings to vivid life the powerful events that transpired between Jesus' Agony in the Garden and his death on the Cross - a narrative that actually provides a fuller treatment of the events of Passion Week than is found in any of the Gospels.

An excellent read

First off, Tom Parks did an amazing job at narrating this book.

Packed with informative ideas, LHOJ puts you in the moment of Christs anguish as well as patience. I honestly had a hard time putting the book down.

Second time around still excellent!

I have already commented on this book so this time after a second ‘reading’ I have to give special credit to Tom Parks the narrator. He was able to relate the story with interest and seamlessly include the necessary scripture references without a drop in vital storytelling energy.
