This episode on crucifixion will be delivered in two parts. Part one will detail the history of crucifixion and its uses within the Roman Empire. We will also talk about some of the physical aspects, effects on the human body, the political attributes behind the idea of crucifixion, and the techniques that were developed over time. Crucifixion was the most brutal form of execution ever invented by man, and the Romans perfected it into an art-form. The extreme, absolute limit of suffering is what crucifixion was, and that is what our Savior endured for us. Join us as we reveal the details of this dreadful practice that was put into use well before the year 400 BC.
