Public crucifixion is no fun.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Every time that I think of the crucifixion of Christ, I commit the sin of envy.

If it has to choose who is to be crucified, the crowd will always save Barabbas.

Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.

In preventing a riot and dispersing a crowd, the Crucifixion is an example of cathartic victimization.

The primary source of the appeal of Christianity was Jesus - His incarnation, His life, His crucifixion, and His resurrection.

'A.D.' will focus on life after the crucifixion and the dangers that the disciples faced in the aftermath of Jesus' resurrection.

The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm; resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking.

The protective system of scapegoats is finally destroyed by the Crucifixion narratives as they reveal Jesus' innocence and, little by little, that of all analogous victims.
