About this title

Synopsis

What does Lent mean to you?

Whether it is six weeks of restorative reflection or a blur of busyness in the lead-up to Easter, this hand-picked selection from BBC Radio 4's popular Lent Talks will help you to discover anew the meaning of Jesus' ministry and Passion.

Over the last 10 years BBC Radio 4 have hosted Lent Talks that, across the country, provide a place for people to engage with, and reflect upon, core ideas of faith. They explore Jesus' ministry, the story of his death, and their personal responses to Lent. Leading voices including novelist James Runcie and MP Ann Widdecombe draw on their own unique responses to Easter, and address what they find in the annual looking-back-to of Jesus' death.

Following a dynamic Foreword by Christine Morgan, Head of Radio, BBC Religion and Ethics, six well-known writers and broadcasters offer fresh and arresting perspectives on the life and death of Christ.

This brief but insightful book provides something for everyone on this year's journey towards Easter.
