Excerpt from The Crucifixion and the JewsIt had been our intention long ago to publish a full considera tion of the subject before us, when we were induced to do so by a letter from a man who had been trained in general literature, from which we will extract the following passages: I was lately asked in what manner crucifixion was effected among the Jews, and how criminals were executed? Not being versed in the Talmud, and finding no information in the Bible, I was compelled to leave the question unanswered, and would, there fore, request you to communicate to me all that is most worthy of knowing upon the subject, and this, too, through the public press.The. Question here is limited in its terms merely to-ascertain, How was the death penalty by crucifixion executed among the Jews? We shall take it in a more extended acceptation, -to wit Whether and how far the-jews caused the crucifixion of Jesus? In treating upon the subject we shall proceed as follows: At first, we intend to reply to the question as our friend preposed it to us then, we shall take a survey of the manner in which our question has been answered by others in our time, and, lastly, we shall present and authenticate our own views.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
