What is the Passion?
“The passion of Jesus, more than other parts of the gospel story, cries out for a theological commentary. While the uninitiated can easily appreciate scenes of Jesus‘ ministry, in which he appears as compassionate healer and teacher, they will be less clear about what to make of a gruesome execution. The crucifixion made no sense to Jesus’ own followers, who had to start rereading their scriptures in an effort to discover why the mighty prophet of God the one God raised from the dead, died an ignominious death.” The Christian Century (9 March 2004), 5.
