Crucifixion Of Jesus Research Paper

Decent Essays
The story of the Crucifixion of Jesus is found in the New Testament. A bible scripture passage I liked is found in the book of Matthew 27:32-56. In the bible I learned that some Jewish leaders didn’t like Jesus because he condemned their sins. Jesus preached the truth, The Jewish people did not want to believe him. Jesus had great crowds of people who followed and believed him, the Jewish became jealous of Jesus and decide to kill him. Since they have no right to kill a man without the approval of the Roman Governor, they had to take Jesus to Pontius Pilate. When they arrived they didn’t have any evidence of what Jesus was doing was wrong. But he finally agreed to have the soldiers kill Jesus by crucifying Him. They killed prisoners on a small

    The conflict between the Christians and the Jesus Seminar has been an ongoing struggle since 1985. The Jesus Seminar, founded by Robert Funk, originated in 1985 as around 70 biblical scholars set out to determine the legitimacy of Jesus’ sayings (Dart). The Seminar focused on the historicity of Jesus using the best methods of science and literary criticism as it pertains to the Bible. Funk believed that the gospel writers had made Jesus into a “larger than life” figure in order to satisfy their religious desires. The Jesus Seminar’s goal is to rid the historical figure of Jesus from “Christian legend and myth” and to find out who Jesus really was and what he really said (Craig).…

    Standing alone in a case in the middle of an upper level gallery room, one will find a humbly sized diptych, which vibrantly grabs the attention of anyone who passes it. To a knowing viewer, it becomes almost immediately evident that this is the work of none other than Jan van Eyck himself. This piece juxtaposes two biblical scenes commonly depicted by Renaissance artists, but with a Netherlandish attention to detail, as well as other formal elements endemic to van Eyck’s style. These components include an emphasis on highly saturated colors, a strong use of spatial elements, and highly realistic physical renderings of the subjects depicted.…

    Jalen Booker Instructor Benjamin Sorenson, MA Western Civilization 10 November 2017 Misconceptions Behind the Methodology of Roman Crucifixions: The Brutal Truth For centuries and centuries on end now, mankind has come to recognize crucifixion as one of the most vulgar, and brutal forms of execution that the world has ever known. Whenever we think of the numerous iconic figures who met their fates on the cross (including St. Peter the Apostle, St. Andrew the Apostle, and even Jesus Christ of Nazareth), we instantly begin to visualize the gruesome torture that they were set to endure. However, I am still convinced that many do not fully understand the extent of pain, and suffering that the cross distributed upon its victims.…

    “The Crucified Soldier” was very intriguing to watch. I never knew there were rumors of the Germans crucifying a Canadian soldier. It surprised me not only because of the brutality of it, but when I think of the World Wars Canada does not really come to mind. I did not know they were involved in the conflict, but it makes sense. I was not surprised by the accounts of Germans terrorizing Belgium citizens.…

    The physical abuse, mental abuse and maltreatment distributed out by the Jews and the Romans, as well as the lack of food, water, and sleep, also contributed to His generally weakened state. Therefore, even before the actual crucifixion, Jesus' physical condition was at least serious and possibly critical. With the knowledge of both anatomy and ancient crucifixion practices, one may form the option, that this was indeed a slow agonizing execution. Our Lord and Savior’s contributing cause of death were numerous.…

    In this essay, I will be talking about what I believe to be true from what Jesus tells us in the Bible, about being the Son of God and how He was here to die on the cross for our sins, showing everyone who He was and who ever believe in Him is save, or healed if they were sick. In this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God. Did his disciples believe he was God? The accuracy of the resurrection accounts in the Gospels, that is, did Jesus rise bodily from the dead?…

    The Jews felt as though they had betrayed their religion and remained immoveable for five days in reverence. Pilate even went as far as to send soldiers to surround these immoveable Jews and murder them (Josephus 62). Pilate had no real reason to do this, except his own pride. This blatant disregard for appeasing Jewish feelings and law in a peaceful and cooperative manner is one of the few instances that will become a cause for a Jewish revolt. This is not the only instance in which Pilate betrays the Jews.…

    The week’s reading assignment centered around Jurgen Moltmann who wrote The Crucified God and provide an extract of his work. This work discussed the suffering of God, both his ability to suffer as well as implications surrounding his suffering and the suffering of Jesus on the Cross. Moltmann argues “If God were really incapable of suffering, he would also be as incapable of loving as the God of Aristotle, who was loved by all, but could not love” (McGrath, 2011, pg. 190). He argues that by being capable of loving, he also must be capable of suffering that comes with love, but that he does not suffer as man suffers due to their incomplete nature, but rather because of his love. Moltman also points out that while this is important, it does…

Stewart states that they later were driven with hate and jealousy as they witnessed his miracles and the popularity he was receiving from the people. All of these reasons contributed to the religious leaders evil desire to want Him dead. This leads to question: Who killed Jesus? The Jews or the Romans?…
