He also recently served as the Executive Director of the President’s Commission responsible for investigating the root causes of the.

You will feel slightly out of sorts after reading this portion, but it is needed. Jesus’ crucifixion is also brutally described because it is needed for the story. Beard very cleverly also intersperses the book with details from other books (of course due credit is given), anecdotes, quotes and parables as well, which only propel the story in an enchanting manner. The chapters count downwards and upwards from seven – referring to the seven miracles as performed by Jesus (Lazarus’s raising is the seventh). The way the book is also written is rather unique. The plot is unusual in the sense that no one has ever ventured down the road – charting for the reader the connection between the two friends and what role does Lazarus have to play or for that matter what do the testaments say and perceive.

John clearly saw the Lazarus event as the last great deed Jesus performed as proof of his divinity before his arrest and crucifixion.“Lazarus is Dead” by Richard Beard is fantastically written – it recounts the story of Lazarus and his resurrection on three different levels and that is what makes the book so good – in terms of plot and the writing style. However, Luke’s account of this event is much briefer than John’s Lazarus story, and it happens much earlier in Jesus’ life. In Luke 7:14-15, Jesus raises the dead son of a widow, with the wording of Luke (‘And he that was dead sat up’) being echoed by John’s ‘And he that was dead came forth’.
