Crucified and Risen: The Easter Story - Gift Edition

By Geoff Waugh

This Gift Edition is published in colour. A victim was brutally tortured and executed in a small Roman province about 2,000 years ago. Although just one of many thousands killed that way as a public exhibition, his gruesome, agonizing death became the most famous death in history. Billions of people now believe in him and follow him. Millions of crosses on top of and inside churches, and worn around necks, remind us of that momentous event. This book recounts that story using original sources and specialist analysis. It traces events leading to that inevitable and drastic conclusion, describes the five trials and two floggings, culminating in its cruel end. But it was not the end. The Easter Story vibrates with its mysterious miracle - the resurrection of the victim. It transformed his followers from a frightened group hiding from the authorities into bold witnesses willing to endure opposition, persecution, and even martyrdom as they spread their Good News around the world. That story is now the most widely read book of all time, translated into over 670 languages and parts of it in over 3,000 translations.
