A History of Catholic Antisemitism: Value Inversion and Vilification [Most ancient peoples, both Jews and Gentiles, regarded crucifixion as demeaning. But the followers of Christ converted the “scandal of the Cross” into an act of metaphysical and escatological importance. An apparently meaningless execution in the political life of the Roman Empire and Judean politics became, for Christians, the most meaningful act in history, because Jesus’s death would lead to his resurrection and potentially to eternal life for all the faithful.1] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Most ancient peoples, both Jews and Gentiles, regarded crucifixion as demeaning. But the followers of Christ converted the “scandal of the Cross” into an act of metaphysical and escatological importance. An apparently meaningless execution in the political life of the Roman Empire and Judean politics became, for Christians, the most meaningful act in history, because Jesus’s death would lead to his resurrection and potentially to eternal life for all the faithful.1]
