This video explains the crucifixion forensically and makes you truly aware of the extent of the suffering of Jesus Christ. The passion and death readings of scripture take on a deeper meaning and you are more deeply aware of the sacrifice. The amazing part is that He knew it and willingly accepted this price for each of us.

I teach Theology to Sophomores in high school and this film was excellent. It gives one a deeper appreciation of Jesus' suffering. My students were speechless after viewing this film. Quite a few asked to take it home and view it again. A truly remarkable presentation of the forensics of Jesus' agony.

Despite a few errors based on how Jesus was actually nailed through the wrists, not the hands, the movie is very interesting and gives a good feel for the real pain that Christ undertook. More people should now about the medical facts which make Jesus' death inevitable, and his empty tomb and linens, a revelation to new life in Him.

Seeing the video brought me closer in understanding the pain and suffering Jesus Christ endured in order to purchase my salvation on the cross. For a long time I had taken His sacrifice for granted. I believed He died for me, but I wasn't aware of the extreme suffering He endured. This video left a lasting impression on my heart and soul. I have not been the same since seeing it. Emotionally, I was cut to the heart. His sacrifice is very personal to me now and I can't think of the cross anymore without tears welling up inside of me. Understanding His sacrifice has caused me to be more "up close and personal" in my relationship with Him. It has brought me to a deeper understanding of his love and care for me.

Even devout Christians become somewhat innoculated against the reality of the crucifixion. This powerful film is a great antidote. It reminds us of what we know, and offers convincing scientific evidence we may have been unaware of.
I have used it in ministry, and have found it to be a powerful tool in reaching the unchurched with the seriousness of the Gospel message, and in jump-starting the faith of practicing Christians.
Part of the success of the film is its use of great art to depict the events of the Passion rather than using actors, who necessarily fall short in portraying a suffering God. The emotional impact is heightened, not lessened, thereby.

This is the only medical analysis on the likely cause death of Christ I have seen in video tape form.

The video was too technical. I expected a re-enactment of what Jesus' experience may have been during the last 18-hours leading to his death and then resurrection, but what I saw instead was a bunch of medical interpretations of what was happening to him physically. I know that he suffered immensely for our sins and for that I am thankful. Because of him their is hope of eternal life for mankind. I would have liked to see a storyline and not a bunch of medical supposition. I was truly disappointed.

I found this to be very disappointing. It was 35 minutes of medical talk that has been heard before. I also found it expensive. After I purchased it and reviewed it, I saw it on the Internet for $10.00 cheaper. I learned that Amazon does not always have the best deal. I feel like I wasted $30.
