Hebrews 9.27-28 says, 'And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ [Messiah] was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear a second time without sin unto salvation.' Now, after reading the title, 'The Judgment of Jesus = the Acquittal, ' a Christian may say, 'Hey, Jesus was the Son of God; He did not need any kind of Acquittal;' and, from my little dealings with some Jewish brethren, Jesus is considered to have been a Prophet who suffered a horrible death; and was an accursed prophet. Now, if the Jewish brethren are right, Jesus would need from God, an Acquittal. To address the two different opinions, let's refer to the writings of Paul, the Apostle in Galatians 3.13. He writes, "Christ [Messiah] has redeemed us from the curse of the law [Torah], having become a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" [Deut. 21.23]. Therefore, if what the Apostle Paul says is true--that Christ became a curse for us--then Jesus would need from God an acquittal, because to be cursed equals damnation. According to 2 Peter 1:20-21, it says, "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." Therefore, by using the Word of God, and some Prophets' lives as examples, I will attempt to bring to light, through this book, the revelation of this vision: 1) Jesus, the anointed of God, 2) His judgment after death [according to Hebrews 9:27]; and 3) His ultimate Acquittal.

ジェームズ・ロビンソンが描く本作は、キリストが背負った「呪い」と死後の「審判」という深遠なテーマに切り込む、圧巻の神学的考察です。キリストを律法の呪縛に身を投じた存在として捉え直す刺激的な視点は、読者に強烈な知的好奇心を与えます。神の沈黙の先にある「無罪放免」の真意を解き明かす筆致は、まさに魂を揺さぶる文学的挑戦と言えるでしょう。 映像版では受難が劇的な美学として昇華されていますが、原作の魅力は聖書の言説を織り交ぜた重厚な論理展開にあります。映像が「苦しみ」を視覚的に補完する一方、テキストは「赦しの論理」という内省的な深みを与えます。両メディアを併せて味わうことで、本作は人間の罪と救済を巡る壮大な叙事詩として、真に完成を見るのです。
