None of the Gospel writers linger in any detail on the specifics of the cruelty of crucifixion. It was an endless struggle to push-up for breath until suffocation took ...read more

Ed Pilate: A Friend to Caesar or Not? The year was 33 AD. Jesus had been arrested and illegally tried. From a human perspective, ...read more
