Characters Around the Cross by Tom Houston

Characters Around the Cross by Tom Houston

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.

This excellent book makes the Passion come alive by opening up the lives of the people we thought we knew so well

-- Joel Edwards, General Director, Evangelical Alliance, UK

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 (OBE (1939 – 2019), formerly of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, England)

...accurate exposition, lively illustration and contemporary application...

-- David Coffey, President of the Baptist World Alliance

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 (Former Pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Newport Beach, California)

After reading this book, I was forced to ask, which of the characters of the cross looks most like me?

-- Gordon MacDonald, Author
