In Engaging the Passion, Oliver Larry Yarbrough has gathered an
impressive array of scholars to survey the wealth of ways in which
the death of Jesus has been portrayed and represented in Scripture,
liturgy and music, literature, art and film, theology, and ethics.
In addition to addressing topics many readers will find
familiar-gospel narratives, Holy Week services, Bach Passions, and
well-known paintings-the essays also treat rap music, street art, a
contemporary Buddhist Passion, Chagall's crucifixions, the poetry
of Walt Whitman and Countee Cullen, J. R. R. Tolkien's unlikely
hero Frodo Baggins, images from the battlefield, and stories from
the soup kitchen. The contributors approach their topics from a
variety of perspectives-Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and secular;
their voices differ as well, from the challenging to the comforting
and from the academic to the confessional. Addressing the faithful,
the skeptical, and the curious, Engaging the Passion is unique in
its breadth and rare in the diverse voices of its contributors.
Amply illustrated and with accompanying discography and
filmography, it will be a welcome resource for classes in
Scripture, theology, liturgy, and the arts, as well as for personal
and congregational study.
