The author raises the question of whether the redemption of man musthave been accomplished through the Passion and Death on a cross of JesusChrist, or whether it could have been realized by the people’s acceptanceof the message of the Gospel. By analyzing the historical aspect, such asunderstanding the prophecies by the Jews and especially by the Apostles,it seems that the latter was possible. It was only after the rejection of theproclaimed Kingdom of God that the Son of God paid the greatest price –and that is by giving up his life for the redemption of mankind. RomanoGuardini favors this solution. The author of the study also shows reasonsfor opposing opinions which are more deeply rooted in the tradition ofpreaching. Belonging to this group are, among others, Pope Benedict XVI,who writes that it is not contradictory to maintain that Jesus wanted to reconcile the people with the Father only by accepting the Kingdom proclaimedto them. However, when the people rejected the Gospel which wasproclaimed by the One who loved them, he accepted this rejection as wellas all its extreme consequences, namely the Passion and Death on a cross.Nevertheless, the Pope writes that this version cannot be proven in any wayby referring to the Gospel records. Since there are no sufficient sources ofevidence, other schemes of the salvation of humanity apart from the Passionand Death on a cross can only be a hypothesis. Hence, they are just a resultof pure speculation, and as such are outlined in this study.
