This learned study may claim to be the most comprehensive and detailed survey ever to have been published of the evidence of the use of crucifixion in the Graeco-Roman world and the way in which it was regarded by the people of the time.

Martin Hengel was Professor of New Testament and Early Judaism in the University of Tubingen.
