FORMED Book Club: Ratzinger's Jesus of Nazareth, vol. 2: ch. 8, the Crucifixion and Burial of Jesus

1. In the Passion, in the Gospels, the OT Word becomes event in Christ. 2. Jesus infinite sacrifice is not to fulfill the demand of a cruel Father. Excursus: it is really we who crucify Christ by every sin. 3. Jesus himself is the new worship that replaces the temple--and we with him.
