The Crucifixion,
Salvador Dali (born
1904)
______
Abelard's idea was that
Christ came to be crucified
to evoke in man's heart the
sentiment of compassion for
the suffering of life, and so
to remove man's mind from
blind commitment to the
goods of this world. It is in
compassion with Christ that
we turn to Christ, and the
injured one becomes our
Savior.
