In this series we look at Jesus from the perspective of a handful of individuals who had smaller parts in the Biblical story. They may be ‘extras’, yet their unique circumstances cast Jesus in new light. This becomes a springboard to explore Jesus from our own perspectives, which are always shaped by our social location and personal experiences.
