| Zusammenfassung: | The author reflects on a Biblical passage from the Book of Luke wherein Jesus Christ is tempted by the Devil for 40 days. He relates the three attempts by the Devil to tempt Jesus, first to turn the stones into a loaf of bread, then to take control of all the kingdoms and finally, to leap from the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the author, Luke deliberately highlights Jesus as representing the human race as a whole. He asserts that Christians are actually the ones who are being put to the test. |
