The Cross Questioned by I. Areeb

Overview: It is said that Christianity stands or falls on the Cross. The death of Jesus on the cross and his rising from the dead form the basis of Christianity. No other religion is so precariously built around a single historical event. As Paul said, “If Christ was not raised your faith has nothing in it” (1Corinthians 15:17).
To prove his point the Christians produces his own witnesses. To prove otherwise we must limit ourselves to the examination of these very witnesses. The Christian is not willing to accept any other. In fact the parallel evidence has been so systematically destroyed that there is not much we can lay our hands on anyway.
The main witnesses available for testifying are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, whoever they were, who left their legacies in the form of the four Gospels which form a little less than one half of the New Testament. Paul’s own writings contained in the New Testament do not tell us much about the life of Jesus, but his influence on Christianity is manifestly greater than any other person surpassing even that of Jesus himself!
Mistakenly people read the four Gospels separately. In attempting my analysis I have tried to look at them concurrently and to compare what each of these four Gospels has to say, or chosen not to say, about the same event and then tried to assess the evidence in a quest to reach the truth. Jesus’ Ministry lasted only about three years in the Bible. My examination begins from the point when Jesus, after having performed many of his miracles and preaching to the multitudes, starts his journey to Jerusalem where he will be eventually, as we are told, arrested, tried and crucified.
