A Doctor at Calvary,
By
This review is from: A Doctor at Calvary: The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ As Described by a Surgeon (Hardcover)
Most comprehensive. Crucifiction is examined from a historical point of view. One can see that a tremendous amount of time was spent doing the historical review. And then to explain in great detail the trauma to the body of the victim from the perspective of a medical practitioneer. It has not yet been established that the shroud of Turin is "the" shroud used on the body of Christ, but it has not been disproved either. Either way, the book is a fascinacing look at the terrible punishment of that era. A book I will read more than a couple of times.Charles Houston WINNIPEG MB Canada

Fascinating!,

This review is from: A Doctor at Calvary: The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ As Described by a Surgeon (Hardcover)
I was interested to read how close this book came to the classic description of the Crucifixion in THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JESUS CHRIST as told to Neil Elliott. Both books are fascinating from first to last.

i never knew,

This review is from: A Doctor at Calvary: The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ As Described by a Surgeon (Hardcover)
I've read the Bible and of course I've recited the Apostle's Creed but until I read this book I never fully understood what crucifixion was. Dr. Barbet described in forensic detail what the body of a condemned man went through. He explains from history what the Romans commonly did to prisoners. For example, scourging wasn't just a beating. Crucified victims died slowly, in agony from suffocation. I expected the book to be dry, it wasn't. I expected it to be interesting, it was fascinating. I read it once a year, usually during Lent and I am deeply moved by it each time.
