#279: The Torture and Murder of Jesus— Mark Kubala

When the wife of acclaimed neurosurgeon Dr. Mark Kubala died in 2013 after 53 years of marriage, and having pondered the passion and death of Jesus Christ for some decades, Kulaba put his medical skills and his gift for detail and effective storytelling to great use in writing The Execution of Jesus the Christ: The Medical Cause of Our Lord’s Death During His Illegal Crucifixion. 

His wife Betty would be as moved as she would be proud of profound guide to understanding the depths of Christ’s love for us, poured out on the cross.

Much of this will be new information to you. It packs a wallop on many human levels: emotional, spiritual, intellectual, I promise. A blessed Good Friday to you and your family.
