About this listen

 ABOUT the year of my birth my father, Jacob Abbott, wrote in “The Corner Stone” a description of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, from which I extract the following paragraph: “We must look at the characters of the actors, rather than their deeds; for in character we may be similar to them, though from the entirely different circumstances in which we are placed we have not, and we never can have the opportunity to commit the crimes they perpetrated. I shall endeavor, therefore, as I go on to the examination of the story, to bring to view, as clearly as possible, the characters of those concerned in it; with particular reference, too, to the aspects which similar characters would assume at the present day. If I am not very greatly deceived, Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot, and even the Roman soldiers, have far more imitators and followers than is generally supposed, and that, too, within the very pale of the Christian Church.” In the spirit of this paragraph, I propose to present sketches of five typical characters engaged in the crucifixion: The Worldly-Minded Church Member. The Ambitious Ecclesiastic. The Cowardly Politician. The Callous Profiteers. The First Pagan Convert. But if we are to understand these characters we must understand those elements in the community of hostility to Jesus which by their action they represented and which gave them their power.
