| Exzerpt | The death of Jesus is a historical event to which a theological significance has been assigned that still provokes new reflection. A reconstruction of the historical events surrounding Jesus’ death is fraught with questions and debates. The theological significance of his death has been variously articulated in the Christian tradition. Contemporary reflections engage with tradition and question it, in part offering new and critical perspectives.

Jesus Christ (as Subject of Christian Faith)

| Exzerpt | The name “Jesus Christ” links the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth with the religious expectation of the Messiah sent by God and lies at the heart of Christian faith. Since the Enlightenment, the search for the “real” or “historical” Jesus has led to diverse, often contradictory reconstructions, since historical sources provide only probabilities, not certainties. Theologically speaking, however, what is decisive is not historical factuality, but rather the confession of faith in Jesus Christ as the living Son of god who acts within history, as attested by the New Testament. The Gospels recount the humanity of Jesus in the light of the Easter faith, whereby the true significance of Jesus for faith lies in his presence and efficacy as Christ, not in historical reconstruction. |
