Title
Crucifixion: In the Ancient World and the Folly of the Message of the Cross (Facets),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In a comprehensive and detailed survey on its remarkably widespread employment in the Roman empire, Dr. Hengel examines the way in which 'the most vile death of the cross' was regarded in the Greekspeaking world and particularly in Romanoccupied Palestine.His conclusions bring out more starkly than ever the offensiveness of the Christian message: Jesus not only died an unspeakably cruel death, he underwent the most contemptible abasement that could be imagined. So repugnant was the gruesome reality, that a natural tendency prevails to blunt, remove, or deomesticate its scandalous impact. Yet any discussion of a 'theology of the cross' must be preceded by adequate comprehension of both the nature and extent of this scandal.
