Roman Crucifixion and the Death of Jesus
The Roman practice of crucifixion was so abhorrent that even the Romans didn’t talk about it. Yet their government practiced crucifixion for centuries. What drew the crowds to the killing fields to watch people die such torturous deaths? What enabled those elite soldiers in the Roman killing squads to crucify their victims with the precision and skill of a hospital surgeon? These and many other questions are answered in this book.
Of the thousands of people who fell victim to “the most pitiable of deaths,” one is much better known than all the others – Jesus of Nazareth. Roman Crucifixion and the Death of Jesus provides a better grasp of Roman crucifixion, helping us fully appreciate Jesus’ pain, his purpose, and his prayers from Calvary’s cross.
