Albl argues that the Christian understanding of Jesus is shocking and offensive because it presents a divine figure who willingly suffers and dies, challenging conventional notions of power, strength, and success.

Additionally, the notion of salvation through suffering can be unsettling to those who seek a more conventional, triumphant view of God. This radical redefinition of divinity invites both profound reflection and resistance from various perspectives.
