If you’re looking for some solid reading for Holy Week, Crossway has you covered.
They’ve put The Last Days of Jesus on sale for just $3.99 on Kindle. It’s authored by Andreas Kostenberger, Justin Taylor, and Alexander Stewart. It details the week, day by day, with historical precision and devotional insight.
I haven’t read the book, I’ve only previewed it and read about it, but it looks fantastic. I would say I’m definitely buying it, but it is just over 200 pages and I don’t think I have time to read all of it. But you might want to. One nifty feature is a Scripture reading guide for the week (image below).
Moreover, I found a review by Tom Schreiner on Amazon, so I’ll let him tell you a little more about the book.
Andreas Köstenberger, an outstanding biblical scholar from Southeastern Seminary; Justin Taylor, the well-known blogger and publisher at Crossway Books; and Alexander Stewart, a research assistant for Köstenberger; have teamed up to write a book on the last days of Jesus–that is, the final week of his life. The authors primarily march through the week day by day, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, though they also include a brief epilogue that includes other resurrection appearances, the Great Commission, and Christ’s ascension.
The format of the book is easy to follow, and the commentary is brief and consistently excellent. For each day in the final week of Jesus’ life, the events are listed, the scriptural passage (or passages) pertaining to the event is printed, and a commentary on the passage is provided. The Final Days of Jesus should prove to be helpful for pastors, teachers, and interested laypersons who preach and teach about the events in our Lord’s last week. Moreover, those who desire to meditate on Jesus’ last week will find this to be an excellent resource as well.
Thanks Tom!
