Regarding the recent article on crucifixion and the way it was carried out, it should be understood that there were undoubtedly a few different methods used to crucify victims. Arguments as to how the feet were nailed are interesting but irrelevant. To make another point, saying that the crucified had their arms tied rather than nailed is incorrect as it, once again, does not mean that all were crucified that way. We know that the hands/wrists of Jesus were nailed to the cross because when He appeared to Thomas Jesus invited him to “put his hands in the marks of the nails in [his] hands” (John 20). As stated above, there was more than one way to crucify a victim.
