Description

Reliving the Passion. Wangerin emphasizes the personal relevance of this story, stating, “The story gets personal for every reader, for this is indeed our story, the story whereby we personally have been saved from such a death as Jesus died.”. Discover the profound significance of the most pivotal story in history—the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While this narrative is often retold, it can sometimes become too familiar or formalized, diminishing its immediate impact. *Reliving the Passion*, which received a Gold Medallion Award in 1993, offers a transformative experience by immersing readers in the story as told through the Gospel of Mark. This compelling work follows the Passion from the moment the chief priests plot to kill Jesus to the triumphant Resurrection. However, these meditations are more than mere recountings; they serve as an imaginative reenactment designed to help readers re-experience the Passion or see it with fresh eyes. Walter Wangerin, a master storyteller, guides us to view the events from within, revealing their strangeness and wonder as they unfold. His vivid imagery and richly personal detail make it feel as though you are there—breathing the dark, heavy air of Golgotha, seeing faces on the streets of Jerusalem, and sharing in the bewilderment, challenge, and ultimate revelation experienced by Mary, Peter, and others. Wangerin emphasizes the personal relevance of this story, stating, “The story gets personal for every reader, for this is indeed our story, the story whereby we personally have been saved from such a death as Jesus died.” He underscores the importance of engaging with this narrative slowly and with faith, encouraging readers to walk the path with Jesus. As he eloquently puts it, “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!” This work invites us to participate in the sacred retelling, making it a holy privilege to reflect on the events that define salvation and hope.
