This study takes a Christian perspective on the entire Bible, rather than simply the New Testament. David Wenkel asks: Why did Jesus have to be beaten before his death on the cross? Christian theology has largely focused on Jesusâ€™ death but has given relatively little attention to his sufferings. Wenkel answer contextualizes Jesusâ€™ crucifixion sufferings as informed by the language of Proverbs. He explains that Jesusâ€™ sufferings demonstrate the wisdom of God plan to provide a substitute for foolish sinners. Jesus was beaten as a fool â€“ even though he was no fool, in order to fulfill God loving plan of salvation. This analysis is then placed within the larger storyline of the whole bible â€“ from the Garden of Eden to the story of Israel and beyond.Â
