Journey to the Empty Tomb explores the events leading up to the first Easter that lie at the very heart of the Christian faith. It focusses on the accounts in the four Gospels of Jesus' final week, beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem and ending with the resurrection. Using her extensive biblical knowledge, Paula Gooder opens up the New Testament texts to reveal fresh and striking insights into many familiar stories, including the cleansing of the temple, the widow's offering, the cursings of the fig tree, the last supper, Jesus' arrest and trial, the crucifixion, the empty tomb and the resurrection appearances.
Devotional reflections on the biblical narratives make this ideal for personal study, while questions for group discussion will be welcome aids for study groups and the detailed exploration of the text for preaching and teaching.
