CHAPTER

The Portrayal of Jewish Involvement in Jesus's Crucifixion in the Gospels

This chapter explores the evolving narrative of Jewish involvement in Jesus's crucifixion in the Gospels, focusing on the explicit blame placed on Jews in Luke and John's accounts compared to the ambiguity in Mark. It delves into the reasons for these differences, including tensions between Jewish and non-Jewish believers in early Christianity and the perpetuation of the concept through generational guilt. Additionally, the chapter discusses the reshaping of Pilate and other pagan rulers as Christian figures in early Christian writings.
