Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the concept of self-sacrifice in relation to Jesus' death, arguing that it aligns with known models of devotion familiar to both Roman and Jewish audiences. Watts analyzes Paul's writings, particularly in Galatians, to illustrate how the notion of devotio serves as a framework for understanding Jesus' intentional death as a transformative act. By drawing on recent scholarship and historical examples, the author suggests that this model not only influenced Paul's language but also provided theological insights into the significance of Jesus' sacrifice.
