History and Faith: The Story of the Passion

‘History and Faith’ originated as six radio talks broadcast during Holy Week 1967. Barrett guides us through the gospel texts and their Jewish contexts to discover how the early Christians understood Jesus’ death and resurrection. With this brilliant historical reconstruction, Barrett brings the past into the present to challenge Christians today. “A rare combination of historical integrity and spiritual sensitivity … A treat to ‘hear’ again Barrett’s quietly authoritative voice on this central Christian theme.” J.M.G. Barclay “To have an account of the life and death of Jesus, and its significance for Christian faith, backed by the learning, authority and integrity of C.K. Barrett, is something that cannot be overestimated.” J.W. Rogerson
