The Execution of Jesus the Christ: The Medical Cause of Our Lord's Death During His Illegal Crucifixion

by Mark J Kubala Faans Facs MD

Overview

For seventy years, we have been taught that Jesus died on the cross from asphyxiation (strangulation) because in the hanging position he was unable to exhale. This theory is not based on sound science. This book explains the medical cause of Jesus's death and why even Pilate was surprised how soon Jesus had died. The dramatic changes that took place in Jesus's body from the Last Supper until death are described in layman's terms. To add to the injustice, Jesus's condemnation to death was illegal under the Jewish law of his time-a fact supported by a review of the political and religious dynamics.
