Default The meaning of the Jesus' passion

The following message was sent from me at the blog of Professor Larry Hurtado. Mr. Hurtado however not considered it worthy of being published in his blog..

In view of the continuing interest in this subject, I have put my own invited review of Bauckham’s book on the “Essays, etc” page of this blog. (I’m afraid that I don’t actually recall where the review appeared! Too busy I guess.)

Hello!

First at all, I apologize for my not perfect English: I'm Italian.

From over 14 years, I'm conducting intensive researches and studies about the true origins of Christianity, and today, thanks to some fortunate intuitions, arising from long and exhausting participations on numerous discussion forums (discussions not always 'calm'!) I'm able to say comfortably that I'm arrived to understand over 90% of what you need to understand about the historical Jesus (quite different from that of 'faith'), on the various characters who interacted with the Nazarene and each with other in the 'evangelical' story, and the true origins of catholic-christian worship also. (absolutely necessary distinction, since first of the catholic-christianity was founded in Antioch the 'judeo-christianity').

Since in one of its links, is re-called the theme of 'resurrection', I felt the urgency to make you present the following.

According to my studies and the conclusions which I have arrived, the 'passion' of Jesus, as described in the Gospels, was not an univocal description, since it involves the figures of three distinct characters: the crucifix, the buried and the resurrected.

I would ask you, based on his knowledge and of his extensive studies, if you deem suitable, among various assumptions that you can make regarding this issue, what I exposed. (Of course, I am more than convinced of what I said)

Pending an eventual response, I greeting you cordially.


Best regards,

Littlejohn
