Passion of Jesus in the Gospel of John

With this volume on John the Passion series concludes its study of the meaning of Jesus' death in each of the Gospels. But though last, it is certainly not less important or a repetition of the other Gospels. In fact, John's portrayal of the death is as distinctive and unique as the rest of this "maverick" Gospel.
Father Senior explores how the rest of the Gospel prepares for the Passion story. He then gives a detailed analysis of the Passion narrative itself. Finally, he explores the theological motifs that dominate the Passion narrative. With scholarly finesse and deep pastoral awareness, he makes John's vibrant message of the Passion speak to our life and times.
Donald Senior, CP, has labored long to fathom and share the meaning of the passion of Jesus in all its aspects. The passion narratives have been a major focus of his scholarly career, beginning with his dissertation at the University of Louvain on the passion narrative according to Matthew, which is a significant contribution to scholarship on the death of Jesus. Now the harvest of his years of biblical, theological and historical studies on the passion is presented in The Passion Series.
