This study takes a Christian perspective on the entire Bible,
rather than simply the New Testament. David Wenkel asks: Why did
Jesus have to be beaten before his death on the cross? Christian
theology has largely focused on Jesus' death but has given
relatively little attention to his sufferings. Wenkel's answer
contextualizes Jesus' crucifixion sufferings as informed by the
language of Proverbs. He explains that Jesus' sufferings
demonstrate the wisdom of God's plan to provide a substitute for
foolish sinners. Jesus was beaten as a fool - even though he was no
fool, in order to fulfill God's loving plan of salvation. This
analysis is then placed within the larger storyline of the whole
bible - from the Garden of Eden to the story of Israel and beyond.
