Part historical exploration, part theological inquiry, part meditation, the new audio series The Last Week vividly brings to life the key moments leading up to Jesus’ death and resurrection and provides space for personal reflection.

This digital download contains eight audio episodes for individual or group study. Though listeners may engage with the series at their leisure, each episode is designed to focus on one day of Holy Week, starting on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday.

“The Last Week” features fascinating new dialogue with John Dominic Crossan based on his book with the late Marcus Borg, “The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus’s Final Days in Jerusalem.” In conversation with David Dykes and Ann Phelps of Faith and Reason, Crossan sets the scene for Holy Week within the context of a volatile Jerusalem into which Jesus arrives on Palm Sunday.

Even if you know the Easter story well, “The Last Week” will enhance your understanding and create the space to reflect on its meaning in today’s world. The episodes map to an 8-day Holy Week study, beginning on Palm Sunday, though you may listen at your leisure.

Listeners are guided through reflection questions at the end of each episode, against a backdrop of meditative music by April Stace that creates an ambience of a Lenten retreat.
