The Crucifixion of Jesus

Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes George MacLeod's view of the crucifixion of Jesus, as seen in "Landmarking: City, Church, & Jesuit Urban Strategy" by Thomas Lucas. It describes his views of view of the city, the church and of Christians of the time. The paper then discusses in what ways MacLeod's argument could be defended or confirmed and to what extent his statement could be refuted or reformulated. Finally, the paper discusses the Jesuit inclinations or motivations toward mission that are echoed in MacLeod's statement.

From the Paper:

"Macleod relates beautifully that Jesus died among those whose lives, both physical and spiritual that he had made his business while upon the earth. Macleod with just a few words assists the reader in understanding that among all the negative factors described by MacLeod, that something precious to Jesus was to be found in the city where he died and that Jesus had found good and beauty within the city among the harlots, murderers and thieves no matter the appearance. Macleod vividly provides a description to drive home his point about the field of mission and where the responsibility of the individual who follows the path of Jesus lay."
