“Many are interested in socially engaged models of Christianity, especially the Protestant denomination of Calvinism.”
This is the cross or persecution according to Calvin, Martin Luther and Wang!
However that’s not what Jesus did, he categorically rejected political opposition to Rome!
Or did he, really?
That may very well have been the reason for his crucifixion, but gospel writers would’ve changed it, just as they painted Pilate as morally good, and Jews as culprits, both possibly false! Jesus’s last week’s actions may have been an uprising against Rome, but we have little evidence.
