[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Folks, this forum is extremely frustrating from the perspective of a moderator. I just deleted 4 full pages of posts that were off-topic. I also blocked the IP addresses of two posters. The original post was about the medical diagnosis of Jesus' death. If you do not believe in Jesus, then you really have no business in this thread because you have nothing to contribute to the topic. Yes, I know that there are a couple of atheists who have a religious fervor to convert everyone, but this is not the thread for it.

Please report off-topic posts as soon as you can in order to keep threads on topic. I would rather delete one post than 4 pages of them. If your position about a topic is that the fundamental assumptions are wrong, you probably should skip the thread. [/quote]

Thank you.

Here is the abstract:

The death of Jesus Christ remains a pivotal moment in world history and a symbol of love, mercy, and courage across the globe. Yet for centuries, the manner of Jesus’ death has remained a subject of controversy in academic and medical circles. Forensic pathologists and clinicians have argued for several hypotheses concerning Jesus’ death, including pulmonary embolism, cardiac rupture, suspension trauma, asphyxiation, fatal stab wound, and shock. This article surveys a broad range of medical and other specialist views regarding Jesus’ experience on the cross, concluding that asphyxiation or asphyxiation-dominant theories have emerged as the consensus position regarding the cause of Jesus’ death. Two features of this article are significant. First, it provides a rich resource of different medical opinions regarding the effects of Jesus’ crucifixion. Second, and more importantly, the survey results show that, perhaps less similar to crucifixion in general, there is a growing consensus regarding Jesus’ cause of death by medical professionals. A table maps these results, summarizing for those in the medical field as well as historians and theologians what medical professionals consider to be the cause of Jesus’ death.
