Execution of Jesus the Christ

Introduction

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.

Medical Explanation

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.

Legal and Historical Context

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.
