Description
From the older images of a sad, blue-eyed Jesus to the more recent, more violently graphic portrayals of his suffering, Hollywood has trained us to see the savior of the world as just another victim. True, Jesus endured terrible physical abuse and a barbaric death, but the night before it all happened, when he prayed alone in the garden, he was facing something more difficult for us to imagine, a terrible moment that according to Luke's Gospel would cause the sun's light to fail.
The Hush presents an alternative view of what happened that week, a larger, more comprehensive look at the familiar story, combining a unique blend of speculation with the biblical record. Passion and humor and friendship are shared between Jesus and his disciples, while all around them danger and conflict and unseen posturing mounts. The week wears away, the hours tick down, the trials commence, and the abuse escalates. Evil is unleashed like never before.
And then comes the moment when the sun refuses to shine; as the Lord of the universe is nailed to a tree and lifted from the earth, the Hush descends.
