Title: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do": reflections on Luke 23:34a, Kol Nidre and the Atonement
Author/Creator: King, Fergus J.
Description: Two Jewish thinkers, Jonathan Sacks (2009) and David Daube (1961) have both suggested that Jesus’ cry in Luke 23:34a has affinities with the Kol Nidre prayers in Yom Kippur liturgy. This paper takes these statements as its launching point to discuss the nature of the allusion and its potential significance for understanding Jesus and his death.
