LAST HOURS OF JESUS

Product Description
The Last Hours of Jesus
From Gethsemane to Golgotha


by Fr. Ralph Gorman, C.P.

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 first written for those already familiar with many of the persons, places, parties, and politics that governed events in their long-past days. These details are lost on modern readers, twenty centuries later!

Which is why Fr. Ralph Gorman has 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-year 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.

From The Last Hours of Jesus, you’ll come to learn scores of new – and often surprising – things, including:

The exact moment Satan entered Judas
The dangerous political currents that fueled the events of Holy Week
Why Jesus refused to answer many of His accusers
Pontius Pilate: why he admired — but condemned — Jesus
Why Palm Sunday’s “Hosannas” led so quickly to Good Friday’s “Crucify him!”
Why, after His death, the Sanhedrin still feared Jesus
And much more to enrich your knowledge, understanding, and love of Jesus!
