Introductory Remarks One of the most central issues I see within modern Christology lies with the problem of making Jesus more understandable and relevant to the minds of today.

When the Romans chose to execute Jesus, they didn’t have many legitimate reasons to oppose him or his followers; however, after Jesus’ death his following grew and so did the Roman’s opposition.
