In the style of her bestselling Phoebe, Paula Gooder uses her extensive
biblical expertise to retell the events of the Crucifixion, Resurrection
and Ascension through the eyes of nine female characters she imagines
accompanying Jesus during these momentous days.
Accompanied
by nine colour illustrations, each story brings to life the tension,
drama and shock of the events of Holy Week, banishing any
over-familiarity and helping readers enter into the Passion narrative in
a deeper, more meaningful way.
Originally
given as a series of addresses at Southward Cathedral during Holy Week
2021, these nine stories are for all who long to encounter Jesus afresh
through the Easter Story.
Paula Gooder is one of the UK's leading biblical scholars and is
passionate about making the best of that scholarship accessible to a
wide audience. She is Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, a Reader
and the author of numerous bestselling titles.
