The Greatest Story Ever Told: A book about Jesus by Bear Grylls

I had the privilege of serving as theological consultant on this remarkable project, working closely with Bear Grylls to help develop his amazing new book. Together, we explored the life of Jesus in a way that’s both faithful to Scripture and accessible to a wide audience.

I’m grateful for Bear’s kind words about my role in the process:

“I owe a huge thank you to Bible scholar Dr Andrew Ollerton for being a constant theological guide throughout the process of writing this book. A calm, clear voice — both spiritually and as a friend.”

I was theological consultant for this TV project and also featured on camera several times as an expert. Take a look at a scene we filmed in Jerusalem about Jesus’ journey to Golgotha.
