Craving Answers, Craving God: Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

\\n

\\n The death of Jesus of Nazareth, by crucifixion, is an irrefutable historical fact. But what his death means, if anything, is the subject of much debate.\\n

\\n

\\n On one level, Jesus was the casualty of Imperial Rome\\u2019s claims to universal power \\u2013 his claim to be in some sense a king came into conflict with Caesar\\u2019s claim; but on another level, Christians insist that Jesus\\u2019 death paid for the sins of the world and, along with his resurrection, have turned the course of history from unrighteousness and death to righteousness and life. In this telling, the main problem of the world is the deep, dark forces that stand behind the current evil world system \\u2013 the forces of sin, Satan, and death. The profound and pervasive depravity of this evil necessitates a radical solution, and the death of God and his subsequent resurrection is the radical surgery necessary to get rid of the cancer of the Fall.\\n
