The Passion Interview

The central act of God in the universe occurred at the cross of Christ. There Jesus purchased everything good for God’s people. Two-thousand years later the suffering of Christ (his passion) continues to stir controversy, evoke emotions, and alter destinies. John Piper’s best-selling book The Passion of Jesus Christ presents fifty biblical reasons why Jesus came to die. In this radio interview about the book, Piper discusses the Christ-honoring aim of the book, the controversy surrounding the Mel Gibson movie, and the eternal value of gaining a greater understanding of God’s purposes for bruising his Son.
