Product Description

Joseph of Arimathea is only mentioned briefly in Scripture as the man who buried Jesus, but his actions give the working Christian an example of how to live for Christ in a world that opposes him.

Joseph of Arimathea reaches through the verses of Scripture to our own generation in a powerful, relevant, and compelling way. He teaches us that the ordinary matters. An ordinary person, living an ordinary life, can be an instrument in the hands of God to be used for his purposes. Looking closely at the life of this disciple, Joseph of Arimathea defines what it means to be a person of the small print and offers a paradigm-shifting perspective on how to be a disciple of Christ in a secular world.

At a time when influence, followers, and clout are the order of the day, Joseph reminds us that small acts of faithfulness can lead to astounding influence and impact through justice, conscience, and power. Joseph of Arimathea validates the contemporary mindset of preparing to stand up for what is right in an increasingly hostile culture.

Joseph

A personal story of one who met Jesus, brought him to England as a young boy and provided his grave when Jesus was crucified. How much better could you get with true contact with our Lord and Saviour!

Joseph

More an inspirational work,than a study of Joseph of Arimathea. I was hoping for more historical material, such as Joseph's business, and possible links with Glastonbury. There is archaeological evidence of trade between Cornwall and the Mediterranean. Hardly mentioned in the book is the input of the Roman army in the Crucifixion and burial of Jesus, such as the Roman guard on the tomb and the debt of gratitude owed by the Roman Centurion whose servant Jesus healed. The Soldier witnessing the crucifixion said "surely this man was the Son of God". There is a reference in Acts to Peter being let out of prison by the Roman guarding soldiers so I would disagree with the author about the degree of courage needed by Joseph to approach the Roman authorities to ask for Jesus' body, for burial. Pontius Pilate said "I find no fault in this man". I think there was a level of sympathy to Jesus amongst the Roman army. The real opposition was the Sanhedrin and I agree that Joseph did go out on a limb and exhibit moral courage, to sympathise with Jesus against the Jewish Establishment. I believe there was a lot of behind the scenes diplomacy involved in the burial of Jesus. The whole scene was a cauldron of controversy, in which Jesus was caught up and of which he fell foul. This is highlighted in the book. An interesting book leaving with me a wish to find out even more about the life and times of Joseph of Arimathea.
