Vito Mancuso | Jesus: the breaking of the Law

Did you explicitly intend to break with the Law? Yes and no. Yes, because he was executed for his harsh contestation of religious tradition and his proclamation of the kingdom of God in radical opposition to the powers of this world. No, because his rebellion was the result of a deeper obedience. Which one? To whom, to what?
