In this special Good Friday podcast I look at Jesus' death, discussing ways historical sources and archaeological discoveries shed light on crucifixion in the ancient world. I then turn to ask: Why did Jesus die this way, drawing from Thomas Aquinas who surveys the various explanations found in Scripture.
Have a blessed Good Friday! (And be sure to check out all the pictures, notes and links posted over at TheSacredPage.com under the post with the same title).
