Using the best of biblical and historical scholarship, they rediscover a new way of understanding the Passion Week and its monumental events. True to form, they turn the traditional understaning of Passion Week on its head to reveal its true significance in history and for faith.</P><P> Jesus's kingdom message was revolutionary in that it questioned people's basic loyalties at a time when those loyalties were jealously guarded by the Roman Empire. Jesus knowingly entered his last week knowing he'd be directly challenging the Romans. For example, the first day of the last week of Jesus's life (Palm Sunday), there were two triumphal entrance parades that occurred. One was a peasant rabbi with a revolutionary message, the second an imperial Roman army escorting the Roman governor to Jerusalem to oversee the holiday festivities. This initiated a week of growing tension in which people were asked to chose which way they would follow &ndash; the current Roman empire, or Jesus's revolutionary way of love, forgiveness, and grace. </P><P> These brilliant authors reveal the moving story of someone who dared to face imperial wrath to bring a new way of life.</P> 99630 2006 The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem total:103|5:37|4:44|3:17|2:3|1:2| 103 420 159 29 4 1 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 14:41:35 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 02 06:55:54 -0700 2007

The book starts out with Jesus arriving in Jerusalem that last week - ordering a donkey and coming in deliberately like a king. That shows his intentions to cause a ruckus - which he definitely did.
