About this listen

What the Gospels don't reveal about Christ's sufferings, science does.

While the Gospels relate only the barest essentials concerning the physical suffering of Jesus, Dr. Pierre Barbet addresses these gaps with scientific inquiry. A Doctor at Calvary provides a forensic pathologist's analysis of the Holy Shroud of Turin, which reveals the graphic account of Jesus' suffering at the hands of the Romans. Through a modern medical lens, Dr. Barbet examines the methods of infliction and physiological effects of each wound. He also delves into the historic practice and mechanics of crucifixion.

This classic, with its engrossing and sympathetic portrayal of the Passion, has ignited religious devotion in clerics and laymen for over half a century. A Doctor at Calvary is a quintessential study for Lenten meditation and for those interested in understanding the crux of Christianity.

Let down by the narration.

This is a fascinating work by Dr Barbet, detailing Roman crucifixión from its origin but more specifically to the physiological and mental agonies suffered by Jesus on the cross. He tells of what the wounds did to the human body in no small measure. Often called the worst method of execution, I now have a fuller understanding and why it was deemed so. The book bristles with many examples of medical terminology but is not difficult to understand. The only fault for me, is the narration. Mr Regan regularly mispronounces many words to the point of distraction. Sepulchre as Sepul-tcher and sometimes Sepul-sher, Apostles with non silent t. Analgesic as Anal gessic being the most grating of all. I don’t want to be hyper critical of Mr Regan but I found it very distracting when the story demands full attention. Overall though, it is a great work and gives a interesting yet horrifying account of the suffering of the Lord.
