Barabbas or Jesus: Which Son Will Solve Our Problems?

What causes a man whom you perceive to be a really good friend, and with whom you have spent an enormous amount of time sharing the deep things of God, to betray you for the equivalent of twenty dollars, the price required to be paid by the owner of an ox that gores a slave?
What makes a man condemn an innocent person to a horrible and shameful death when he knows that man is just and even after he has been given supernatural revelation of his innocence?

Why would people prefer to release a murderer and seditionist when they have the option to pardon an innocent and harmless preacher?

Why would a soldier pick a particular individual from a crowd to carry the burdens of another? Why do we refer to the day when the most brutal and unjust act ever committed as a Good Friday? Are the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ simply historical events or are they personal and experiential as well?

These are the questions stirred by Judas, Pilate, Barabbas, Simon of Cyrene, and Jesus – the main cast of characters that headline the Easter event and to which this books seeks to answer.
