@BrianZahnd @BKristofferson Great question, Brett. Dispensing with religion-speak: the peacemaking power of the Crucifixion issues from its crowning authority overcoming the complicity between cultures, religions and violence. Simply put, the Prince of Peace ultimately overcomes Christian religion itself.
