| Summary: | The cross of Jesus has for centuries been the world-wide symbol of Christianity. From the early days of Christian art to the monumental films on the life and death of Jesus in the past century, most Christians and their critics seem to have a fairly fixed idea of what exactly happened when Jesus was crucified under Roman rule outside Jerusalem. Against this background which is so obvious that it is hardly given consideration, the present monograph by Swedish scholar Samuelsson questions the textual basis of our knowledge about the death of Jesus. Samuelsson starts with the observation that NT texts offer only a brief description of the punishment that has influenced a whole world. Jesus announced that he would be crucified in Jerusalem (Matt 26:2). |
