What was crucifixion? Why was Jesus of Nazareth executed and what
really happened? Gerard Sloyan begins with history and traces the
development of the New Testament accounts of Jesus' death. He shows
how Jesus' death came to be seen as sacrificial and how the
evolving understandings of Jesus' death affected those who suffered
most from it - the Jews. He then traces the emergence and
development - in theology, liturgy, literature, art - of the
conviction that Jesus' death was redemptive, as seen both in
soteriological theory from Tertullian to Anselm, in the Reformation
and modern eras, and in more popular religious responses to the
crucifixion. Especially fascinating is the story of the emergence
of a distinct "Passion piety" that still characterizes the West. In
all this Sloyan detects the separation of the cross from Jesus'
life and resurrection, allowing the mythicizing of an event too
large for mere words to handle: the mystery of the cross.
