His body formed a “Y” shape, as those performing the crucifixion would attach the hands outstretched and above the victims head with some room for movement and the feet with the knees slightly bent (Davis n.d.). In order for Jesus to breathe properly, He would have to bring His body from a “Y” shape into that of a “T”, requiring Him to pull up by His nailed wrists and push up by His…

However, the fullness of true compassion for people being involved and wounded is also displayed in this novel.…

I will be focusing on these commonalities and contrasts to explain how the execution and resurrection is interconnected with Christianity today.
