Summary |
As the method chosen to end the life of Jesus Christ, crucifixion looms as a highly charged and symbolic method of execution. Yet, it was common at the time and had been used for at least 500 years. Examines the torturous capital punishment applied to not only Jesus, but to tens of thousands of other unfortunate victims. Go to Jerusalem, to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden of Gethsemane, to learn of the most famous crucifixion in history. Learn the origins of this awful punishment, its mechanics, and its effectiveness as a deterrent. Discover what it is that actually kills the crucified: shock, suffocation, asphyxiation, or heart trauma. |
