review: Editorial Reviews Review . . . should be purchased now and read before John's passion is solemnly proclaimed next Good Friday.National Catholic Reporter From the Inside Flap With this volume on John The Passion series concludes its study of the meaning of Jesus' death in each of the Gospels. Although 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.
