A guided walk through the tribulation of Jesus — the agony, the trials, the crucifixion, and the seven last words — holding the historical reality and the theological meaning together without blurring them.
Section 01Theological Interpretation
The Agony and the Arrest
Gethsemane shows a fully human Jesus dreading the 'cup' yet choosing obedience. The surrender is real because the dread is real.
Section 02Historical Analysis
The Trials and the Cross
Religious then Roman hearings, scourging, and crucifixion — Rome's most shameful execution. Pilate and the practice are historically attested; archaeology (Yehohanan's heel bone) confirms the method.
Section 03Theological Interpretation
The Seven Words and the Meaning
The sayings from the cross — forgiveness, dereliction (Psalm 22), 'It is finished' — gather the church's reading of why this death is called good news. Labeled as theological interpretation.
