Edexcel A2 Unit 4: Implications

Understanding the death of Jesus is a problem that has puzzled both believers and scholars. The New Testament addresses the issue in two different ways: one that is based on the historical events at the time, which led to Jesus’ death, and one that offers religious and theological reasons for his death. The two are inevitably interlinked, as the Gospel writers demonstrate how the divine plans and purposes are revealed in the working out of the political manoeuvrings in the last weeks of Jesus’ life.
