The Death of Jesus: Four Gospel Accounts

Explore the four different Gospel passion narratives

Encounter each evangelist's unique insights
into the spiritual meaning of Jesus' execution

This online, self-paced tutorial is written and narrated by Philip A. Cunningham, Executive Director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College. It is a collaborative project of C21 Online and the Center.

The tutorial consists of introductions to the Catholic approach to the Bible and to the Gospels, and interactive commentaries on each of the five scenes in the four Gospel narratives.

This entire learning experience can be completed in about 5 hours, though we recommend that participants view and reflect on one unit or scene at a time.  There is an opportunity to do a self-check on what one has learned at the end of each scene. Revisit the tutorial as often as desired.

Tips

• Make sure your computer's sound is turned on in order to hear the commentary narration.
• Turn your pop-up blocker off for this site if you're having trouble getting the self-checks to work at the end of each scene.
• The Java plug-in must be installed in order to view the commentary slides. Most computers have this installed already, but you can download the Java plug in by clicking here if necessary.
• WebCT's Browser Tune-up page can also provide more tips if you're having trouble.
• MAC USERS: We recommend using Safari as your browser since it handles the Java applet better than Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Firefox.
