Crucifixion Phenomena
- The extraordinary phenomena surrounding Jesus' crucifixion are linked to his cry, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
- These events, like darkness and earthquakes, either explain or result from this cry.
Forsaken or Feeling Forsaken?
- Jesus' cry from the cross, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?", raises the question of whether he was truly abandoned by God.
- This explores the idea of Jesus experiencing the feeling of abandonment, even if not objectively forsaken.
