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 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.\r\n\r\nRelated electronic resource:\tPublisher description http:\/\/catdir.loc.gov\/catdir\/enhancements\/fy0633\/91032854-d.html\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 156 pages ; 21 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}}]}
