About the Series
Seven books that refuse to let them stay minor.
They appear in the Gospels for a handful of verses each — a governor washing his hands, a stranger pulled from a crowd to carry a cross, a soldier who says the one true thing no one else will say, a condemned man forgiven in his final hour, a member of the Sanhedrin who steps out of hiding, and the seeker who comes back one last time with seventy-five pounds of spices.
The Passion Micro-Biography Series is a seven-volume work of narrative nonfiction, each book centered on a single minor figure surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Drawing on first-century archaeology, Jewish legal and religious history, and close reading of the Gospel accounts, each volume reconstructs not just what these figures did, but who they were and what their choices cost them.
This is not devotional fiction — the series separates what Scripture says from what history can responsibly infer, for readers who want more than a dramatized retelling. Each book stands alone. Read together, in order, the seven volumes trace a single afternoon from its edges — the trial, the road to Golgotha, the cross, and the tomb.
