For many people, the crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans is just another tragic fact of history – a cruel travesty of justice, perhaps, but nothing more. But for Christians the death of Jesus has a much deeper and far-reaching significance.
Jane Williams examines the reasons why Jesus’ death was seen by his first followers as nothing less than the demonstration of God’s love for his creation, and the means by which we all can find forgiveness and redemption, both now and in the world to come.
