Barabbas is the acquitted; the man whose life was exchanged for that of Jesus of Nazareth, crucified upon the hill of Golgotha. Barabbas is a man condemned to have no god. &quot;Christos Iesus&quot; is carved on the disk suspended from his neck, but he cannot affirm his faith. He cannot pray. He can only say, &quot;I want to believe.&quot;<br><br>Translated from the Swedish by Alan Blair
