The Crucifixion of Jesus

Second Edition, Completely Revised and Expanded

Frederick T. Zugibe, Ph.D., M.D.

In this enthralling and meticulously researched book, renowned forensic pathologist and medical examiner, Dr. Frederick Zugibe, discusses his forty-five years of research in to mechanisms and causes of Christ’s death in crucifixion.

A completely revised and expanded edition of The Cross and The Shroud (previously published ISBN 0-913729-75-2), this book provides a detailed analysis on Christ’s death—from the crown of thorns to the burial tomb. Dr. Zugibe explores not only the Christ’s physical torment on the cross, but also looks at the emotional pain he experienced during the hours leading up to the actual crucifixion. Central to Dr. Zugibe’s conclusions is the severe mental anguish Christ underwent in Garden of Gethsemane, which Zugibe asserts contributed greatly to his death after only three hours on the cross.

As the world’s leading authority on the crucifixion, Dr. Zugibe incorporates the latest scientific discoveries about the Shroud of Turin, including recently released findings that disprove the previous attempts radiocarbon dating. Detailing his own personal examination of the Shroud, he sheds new light on its authenticity and provides the most complete scientific account of Christ’s death available today.
In language that is both precise and easy to understand, Dr. Zugibe’s presents his discoveries culled from years of exhaustive research. Using a scientifically accurate cross, he illustrates his unparalleled experiments that have helped him to understand the blood gas determinations, muscular effects, and other physical consequences of crucifixion. Documented with 95 illustrations that explore the impact of crucifixion on the body, Dr. Zugibe demonstrates the realities behind the crucifixion providing a virtual autopsy on Christ from across the centuries.

Frederick T. Zugibe, Ph. D., M.D. was the Chief Medical Examiner of Rockland County, New York from 1969-2003, where he was widely recognized as an expert in forensic pathology.
