What Christ Suffered: A Doctor's Journey Through the Passion - Thomas
What Christ suffered during his Passion -- for you -- is a powerful source of reflection and meditation.
While we know that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem around A.D. 33, the details of his sufferings and death have been confused and obscured over the past two millennia. In What Christ Suffered: A Doctor's Journey Through the Passion,Dr. Thomas W. McGovern provides the most accurate, up-to-date understanding of the physical sufferings of Jesus Christ, drawing on ancient Greek and Latin literature about crucifixion, discoveries of ancient images, archaeology, medical reenactment studies, and medical case reports. This volume corrects decades of myths and misunderstandings presented in books and articles and on websites -- myths the author himself disseminated for years until he reanalyzed the data utilizing twenty-first-century advances in modern medicine and archaeological discoveries. 328 pages, paperback
I never thought reading this book would have me walking through Jesus’s last night/day on earth. Yet I was immersed in walking with him to his last moments. Learning what he suffered possibly and only then realizing the suffering he had to endure was so much. We could never repay him for this but learn from him. That he suffered for us, because he loves up. We suffer here on earth and it equals love. Offer it up to the Lord to help others and the church. Thank you for this amazing read.
A one of a kind book written by a physician about many details of what Jesus suffered during his passion. Brings tears to your eyes, discovering all the pains that Jesus went through for us. It is beautifully explained and written.
