The Last Week

The Last Week by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan is an excellent introduction to the origin of Holy Week. The book tracks the Gospel of Mark, which gives us a day by day account of the last week in the life of Jesus. I leaf through it each year at this time, to help me remember why Holy Week is so important to me. Barbara Brown Taylor, an Episcopal priest and nationally acclaimed preacher and author says, "It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this volume for students of the Bible, especially those who mean to follow the Prince of Peace."
