What Are the Chances that Jesus' Corpse Was Left on the Cross?

With few exceptions, even the most skeptical scholars admit that Jesus was crucified—and with good reason.

A Holy Week Reflection

In Christian tradition, Holy Week retells the story that begins with Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and ends in Resurrection Sunday, or Easter. But it’s really more than just a revisiting of an ancient narrative.
