The Bible is not only a treasury of great stories and interesting characters, it also explores the important concerns of today’s world.
The sixteen people in Onlookers are drawn from biblical sources, some only mentioned in passing, others more central to the event. Characters who offer a different perspective on well-known Old and New Testament stories, who might help us think of the way we live our lives today; like Rahab the prostitute, Jephthah tortured by his promise to sacrifice his beloved daughter, and Simon of Cyrene who carries Christ’s cross.
In Onlookers, those in the shadows now have the opportunity to share their own fascinating stories, vividly recreating a time and place we thought we knew.
