Jesus' Death on Cross: Literary, Theological, and Historical Comments

Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty |
2014

Abstract

The study identifiess and interprets traces of an ancient layer of the Markan Passion story (Jesus as the suffering Righteous One, Son of Man as the celestial counterpart of Jesus and not as his alter ego /Mark 14,62/, the Paschal Lamb as protection of God's people, not as expiation of sins). The Passion Story has a pre-Markan core.
