Abstract
Gospels show very little interest in geography, topography.
Only when Christianity became free in the Roman Empire,
those places were being localized and marked by construction
works, with theological assistance of ecumenical councils. It is
obvious that Gospels are primarily theological works. They are
a theological reflection over events, as well as over the fact of
Jesus’ death. The report on Christ’s passion is present in all
Gospels. It is intertwined with theology and history, and as such
it wants to answer why Jesus was killed. Hence, when reading
the Gospels, both aspects, theological and historical, should be
taken into account. Particularly “theological” is the Gospel of
John which we approach by the stations of Christ’s passion and
death.
