No story has more significance than this: the death and
resurrection of Jesus. But somehow the oft-repeated tale of Christ
s passion can become too familiar, too formalized, for us to
experience its incredible immediacy. The meditations in Reliving
the Passion, which received a Gold Medallion Award in 1993, follow
the story as given in the gospel of Mark---from the moment when the
chief priests plot to kill Jesus to the Resurrection. But these
readings are more than a recounting of events; they are an
imaginary reenactment, leading the reader to re-experience the
Passion or perhaps see it fully for the very first time. As only a
great storyteller can, Walter Wangerin enables the reader to see
the story from the inside, to discover the strangeness and wonder
of the events as they unfold. It s like being there. In vivid
images and richly personal detail, Wangerin helps us recognize our
own faces on the streets of Jerusalem; breathe the dark and heavy
air of Golgotha; and experience, as Mary and Peter did, the
bewilderment, the challenge, and the ultimate revelation of knowing
the man called Jesus. The story gets personal for every reader,
writes Wangerin, for this is indeed our story, the story whereby we
personally have been saved from such a death as Jesus died. No,
there is not another tale in the world more meaningful than
this---here is where we all take our stands against sin and death
and Satan, upon this historical, historic event. I consider it a
holy privilege to participate in it retelling. Read this book
slowly. Read it with a seeing faith. Walk the way with Jesus. We,
his followers of later centuries, do follow even now. Read, walk,
come, sigh, live. Live Rise again "
