What Christ suffered: A Doctor's Journey through the passion

While we know that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem around 33 A.D., the specifics of his suffering and death have been confused and obscured for the past two millennia. In What Christ Suffered: A Doctor's Journey Through the Passion, Dr. Thomas W. McGovern reveals the most accurate and up-to-date understanding of the physical sufferings of Jesus Christ, based on ancient Greek and Latin crucifixion literature, ancient image discoveries, archaeology, medical reconstruction studies and medical case reports. This volume rectifies decades of myths and misconceptions presented in books, articles and on websites - myths that the author himself propagated for years until he reanalyzed the data using advances in modern medicine and twenty-first-century archaeological discoveries.

Drawing on the writings of Pope Saint John Paul II in Salvifici Doloris, this book invites readers to a profound insight into the meaning and value of human suffering - and how to apply it concretely in their own lives.
