People of the Passion (Threshold Bible Study)
Author: Steve Binz
6 X 9" -- 120 pages
Suffering seems to bring out the best and the worst
in our human nature. Some people are overcome
with hopelessness that leads to despair; others are
filled with courage that leads to heroism. Still others
exhibit a wide range of responses that reveal their
character: trust, generosity, steadfastness, cowardice,
greed, and pride. The people of the passion in this book
are the characters who participated in some dramatic
way in the suffering and death of Jesus. Well-known
characters include Peter, Pilate, and Mary Magdalen;
lesser-known include Simon of Cyrene, the daughters
of Jerusalem, and the woman who anointed Jesus.
