Characters Around the Cross
|
In this updated and expanded version of the popular original, Tom Houston brings to life each of the characters involved in the death of Jesus on the cross. He provides us with insights into the historical context of each character and encourages us to imagine the impact that their encounter with Jesus would have had on their lives.
Tom Houston is a retired Scot and lives with his wife Hazel in Oxford, England. He served as a pastor for 20 years in Scotland and Kenya and then went on to serve in leadership positions with the British and Foreign Bible Society, World Vision and the Luasanne Committee for World Evangelisation until his retirement in 1994.

Beautifully written and attractively presented, this book takes the reader to the only place where God will meet us – at the front of the Cross. There we find ourselves confronted by Judas, by Herod and Pontius Pilate, by Mary Magdalene, Nicodemus and others, with a startling vividness that compels us to take sides.
Richard Bewes, Rector of All Souls Church, London
I highly recommend it to you, and I plan to draw richly from it in my future Lenten preaching!
John Huffman, St Andrews Presbyterian Church, Newport Beach, Ca
...accurate exposition, lively illustration and contemporary application...
David Coffey, President of the Baptist World Alliance
