| Summary: | Summary This article examines the presuppositions and contents of various perspectives on Jesus’ death in early Christianity.After beginning with the observation that early Christian writings always interpreted Jesus’ earthly activity against the background of his resurrection and exaltation, the article considers different models for making sense of Jesus’ death.Where-as Paul in First Corinthians and Galatians stresses the humiliation of Jesus’ crucifixion, Origen and the Gospel of John interpret Jesus’ death against the background of the"noble death" in Greco-Roman literature or refer to the motif of dying for others as the highest manifestation of friendship.Cultic metaphors or traditions used in early Christian writings include ἱλαστήριον (Rom 3:25) or the Day of Atonement in Hebrews.Early Christian texts therefore interpret the death of Jesus by referring to a wide variety of terms and ideas from Greco-Roman as well as Jewish traditions.It would thus not be persuasive to privilege one particular model or term as supposedly essential for early Christian perspectives on Jesus’ death.Rather, God’s saving activity through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ could be interpreted with the help of a broad range of terms and ideas.This observation could serve as the basis for approaches to Jesus’ death in Christian theology today as well. |
