The St. John Passion for the Twenty-First Century: Musical and Theological Perspectives

Using a contemporary lens, this book focuses on how J.S. Bach used his compositional creativity to interpret the message of the Johannine passion narrative from a Lutheran perspective and provides a new translation of the libretto. It provides a brief historical context, important points of theological scholarship, and performance history.
