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.

Very Technical

“A Doctor at Calvary” is a very technical account about the accuracy of the shroud. As one not very familiar with the shroud it was easy to get confused. But after getting past this, it was a very interesting listen. In actuality it has little to do with Calvary itself but more about the Shroud. And it also provides a medical analysis of crucifixion. A worthwhile listen but one that requires foreknowledge.

The best book I've listened to in a long time

This deep investigation of the injuries of the man on the shroud, even as old as the book is, is perhaps better than any other analysis I've read, and I've read everything I can get my hands on with regard to the Shroud of Turin . The reader is satisfactory, as you overlook some of his missed pronunciations of frankly even some basic words, which he does somewhat frequently. But the work is worth it. The reflection at the end is especially poignant. Excellent book, which I can't recommend highly enough.

Have to read it myseld

I have been wanting to read this book for a number of years, so I was happy when I saw it on Audible. However, the narrator's pronunciation of words (other than his British accent) is hard to tolerate. for example, think of how you say/read the word "analogy." You probably read it as "an-AL-oh-gy." This guy read it as "an-ah-LOH-gy". That, and the way he pronounces French names and places is very Anglofied. I wanted to enjoy this, but I can't.
