About
No narrative is more beautiful than the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now, you can gain a deeper understanding of these powerful events with Fr. Henry Wansbrough, one of the world's leading biblical scholars. Although the story of Jesus' Passion, Death, and Resurrection forms the core of Christian belief, the full depth of its meaning is often not immediately understandable to twenty-first century readers. Occurring some two thousand years ago, these events were narrated with the language and symbols of contemporaries in a civilization and culture considerably different from ours. In He Lives: The Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus, you will delve into the world of the biblical authors in order to understand the religious message of these events. As you do so, you will gain a deeper understanding of not only the historical context but also the profound theology expressed in these accounts. You will journey through the gospel accounts of the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, Jesus' interrogation, and His ultimate condemnation by Pontius Pilate, gaining deep insights into the theological and salvific nature of these events. After looking at the powerful themes of forgiveness in the Cross, you will consider what the Resurrection means for the mission of the Church and your own spirituality. Finally, you will explore the glorification and transcendence of the Risen Christ. Embark on this journey of forgiveness, hope, and glory today.

Reviews
"Jim Wetzel is the most profound and original interpreter of Augustine currently working in the English-speaking world. His books, especially *Augustine and the Limits of Virtue* and *Augustine: A Guide for the Perplexed*, are essential for anyone interested in Augustine."
Paul J. Griffiths, Duke Divinity School
"Jim Wetzel is one of the most profound of Augustine scholars in our age, and a remarkably illuminating and luminous teacher. His writings have shaped Augustine scholarship for a generation. But until now only his students and colleagues have been fortunate to encounter his living voice, and I am delighted that it will come before a larger audience. Take and listen!"
Charles Mathewes, University of Virginia
"Augustine promises that the proof of his words will be something that we discover in our own lives; yet few philosophers have felt that call, and put their bodies on the line for it, like James Wetzel. The results have been rare and splendid – and these lectures will carry them on."
Miles Hollingworth, Patristic Institute
