For Jesus himself seems to have left his followers no clear guidance on how to understand his fate, in all probability not even at his last meal with them. There is, moreover, a seeming tension in the passion story between his self-surrender in Gethsemane and the reproachful cry on Golgatha, perhaps due to contrary views of God's will and his own about God's intention. Confronted with this puzzling inheritance, early Christians adopted a variety of different images in an attempt to explain what had happened, and its place in the divine plan; and Paul, despite apparently eschewing any use of human wisdom to interpret the cross, nevertheless draws on some of these lines of interpretation. Yet characteristic for the apostle's theology and soteriology are his corporate Christology and his talk of "righteousness" and "justification". Yet the death of one person involving all humanity presents problems of understanding and ethics. Or, if Jesus is a "model" for humanity is he a perfect one and what example does he in fact give us? And is "peace with God" really all that our justification entails, especially when the cry of desolation on Golgatha shows little sign of such peace? That would mean that the views of both Jesus and Paul on this subject need to be criticized and corrected if they are to be meaningful and of use today.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 162mmItem Length: 239mmItem Weight: 528gAuthor: Alexander J.M.
