Jesus of Nazareth in the New Yorker
May 19, 2010
… Much of what he has to say [in Jesus of Nazareth] is shrewd and learned… Verhoeven, citing Crossan… imagines a man being nailed to a cross, cries of agony, two companion crosses in view, and then we crane out to see two hundred crosses and two hundred victims: we are at the beginning of the story, the mass execution of Jewish rebels in 4 B.C., not the end. This was the Roman death waiting for rebels from the outset, and Jesus knew it. — Adam Gopnik, writing in the New Yorker
