Crucifixion of Jesus

commonly accepted by virtually most historians that Jesus, Christianity’s prominent figure, is a historical figure. However, the historicity of Jesus has caused a significant amount of speculation as little is known about Jesus’ life. It is believed, however, that Jesus had siblings and was a devout Jew. Although the childhood of Jesus is virtually unknown to historians, his adulthood is known due to the New Testament. The New Testament gave insight on Jesus’ life and teachings; moreover,…

the depiction of Christ's crucifixion has changed from the early medieval era to the late medieval, roughly the time span from about c. 400-1500. It can be said that, during the medieval time period, Christ’s life was an important theme, especially that of His death on the cross. During the Roman time period, crucifixion was the essential and most gruesome way to punish one who had committed crime(s). However, with that being said, it is interesting to see how the crucifixion has been depicted…

2: Jesus cried out "My God! My God! Why Have You Forsaken Me!?" While Hanging On The Cross. Matthew 27 records this. Highly improbable Matthew would make up this saying and put it into Jesus' mouth since it makes it look like Jesus doesn't trust the Father, and it makes it look like Jesus forgot His mission. Why did Jesus say this? He quoted the first verse of Psalm 22 verbatim. This is a messianic Psalm according to most biblical scholars. When you cross-examine (pun intended) Psalm 22 with…

beautifully portrays the story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection in a fiction setting in such a way that Christians see the parallels and are reminding of the ultimate sacrifice but people who are not familiar with Jesus still can take something away from Lewis's story, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Throughout the Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis weaves Biblical themes into the characters' lives. The most prominent story Lewis uses is the Crucifixion of Jesus when he pens Edmunds…

For my final film, I watched a play called The Gospel Project. It was performed by Justin Poole and Jim Clemens. Since I saw this in February, I emailed Justin to ask him a few questions about the play. I first asked him how the play stick to the texts in the Gospels. He relied heavily on three versions: King James, New International Version, and New Living Translation. He said in his email that he took from these three versions because he wanted to take “words from a variety of these…

The Crucifixion is one of the most widely known and told stories. Even if a person is not Christian, they have probably heard the story of Jesus’s sacrifice made on the Cross. It has been adapted in many different forms including storybooks, plays, and poetry. ‘The Dream of the Rood’ is one of the earliest poetic adaptations, dating back to somewhere during the eighth century. The book of Matthew from the Bible is one of the four original writings on the Crucifixion story, and often one of the…

Jesus as man Possibly the greatest knowledge and theological driving force behind incarnational ministry is the accounts of Jesus Christ three years of ministry as evidenced within the Gospels. It is within the gospels that the sense of ‘presence’ and service is outworked by Jesus with the people at the time and it is within the Gospels that we see accounts of God relating to human beings on a level that is both human and divine. The balance of human and divine in the life of Christ on earth is…
