The Crepolemian of the Cross

When Jesus dies on the cross, the primary thing that's about is the messianic victory. He has King of the Jews above his head. And it is couched in terms of a victory over the powers over Herod and Pilate who have put in there. In what way did that defeat the powers of darkness? The short answer is you have to read the book because that's precisely the question which the book is trying to address. We are so far out from thinking the way that first century Christians thought they could take for granted in a slogan.
