Dr. Mark Kubala uses his medical expertise to examine the physical trauma experienced by Jesus Christ and his cause of death in his new book The Execution of Jesus the Christ, he said in a news release.
Dr. Kubala is a neurosurgeon who has been practicing in Beaumont since 1966. He said his book includes a historical background on life in Judea, a chronology of Jesus’ last week and the medical aspects of the crucifixion.
“For many years, I have been thinking about, studying and trying to understand what happened to Jesus’ body from the time he was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, through his illegal trial and condemnation to death by Pontius Pilate, to his death from crucifixion,” Kubala said. “What were the physiological changes that took place in this healthy 33-year-old male, who had just eaten a Last Supper meal on Thursday evening and was dead 18 hours later?”
Kubala said he presented the book in language more easily understood by non-medical professionals to have a greater sense of Jesus’s suffering when executed.
The book, which released Feb. 3, is available for sale on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and through West Bow Press.
Dr. Kubala will hold a book signing Saturday, April 8, from 3-5 p.m. at Fleur Fine Books in Port Neches, located at 1720 Magnolia Ave., Suite 104.
