▁Liter ary ▁sens ib ilities ▁in ▁Roman ▁anti qu ity ▁did ▁not ▁promote ▁graph ic ▁descri ptions ▁of ▁the ▁act ▁of ▁cru c if ix ion , ▁and ▁even ▁the ▁G osp els ▁report ▁simply , ▁" They ▁cru c ified ▁him ," ▁adding ▁no ▁further ▁detail . ▁According ▁to ▁Green , ▁the ▁Rom ans ▁were ▁slaves ▁to ▁no ▁standard ▁technique ▁of ▁cru c if ix ion : ▁" In ▁describing ▁the ▁sie ge ▁of ▁Jerusalem ▁by ▁the ▁Roman ▁army , ▁for ▁example , ▁Joseph us ▁reports ▁that ▁‘ the ▁soldiers ▁out ▁of ▁ra ge ▁and ▁hat red ▁am used ▁themselves ▁by ▁n ail ing ▁their ▁prisoners ▁in ▁different ▁positions ’ ▁( J . W . ▁ 5 . 4 4 9 – 5 1 ). ▁Else where ▁we ▁learn ▁that ▁vict ims ▁of ▁cru c if ix ion ▁might ▁be ▁fixed ▁to ▁the ▁st ake ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁die , ▁or ▁imp aled ▁after ▁death ▁as ▁a ▁public ▁display . ▁They ▁might ▁be ▁fixed ▁to ▁the ▁cross ▁with ▁n ails ▁or ▁with ▁ro pes . ▁That ▁Jesus ▁was ▁na iled ▁to ▁the ▁cross ▁is ▁int im ated ▁in ▁several ▁texts ▁( John ▁ 2 0 . 2 5 ; ▁Act s ▁ 2 . 2 3 ; ▁Col ▁ 2 . 1 4 ; ▁G os . ▁Pet . ▁ 6 . 2 1 ; ▁Justin ▁D ial . ▁ 9 7 ). ▁Nor ▁can ▁we ▁turn ▁to ▁arch ae ological ▁evidence ▁for ▁assistance ." ▁ ▁Professor ▁Robin ▁M . ▁J ensen |
, ▁in ▁her ▁book ▁entitled ▁The ▁Cross : ▁History , ▁Art , ▁and ▁Cont ro vers y , ▁says ▁that ▁‘ st au ros ▁( Lat in ▁= ▁cru x ) ▁did ▁not ▁necessarily ▁imply ▁[ a ▁cross ]. ▁Histor ically ▁both ▁Greek ▁and ▁Latin ▁words ▁simply ▁referred ▁to ▁an ▁u pr ight ▁st ake ▁to ▁which ▁those ▁condem ned ▁to ▁death ▁might ▁be ▁bound ▁or ▁tied ▁until ▁they ▁suff oc ated ▁to ▁death . ▁The ▁conventional ▁picture ▁of ▁a ▁Latin ▁cross ▁( c ru x ▁imm issa ) ▁has ▁been ▁challeng ed ▁over ▁the ▁centuries ▁as ▁some ▁sch ol ars ▁and ▁even ▁Christian ▁communities ▁have ▁argued ▁instead ▁that ▁Christ ▁died ▁on ▁a ▁T - sh aped ▁cross ▁( c ru x ▁com issa ) ▁or ▁even ▁upon ▁a ▁simple ▁st ake ▁( c ru x ▁simple x ). ’ ▁ ▁" St au ros " ▁interpreted ▁as ▁a ▁cross ▁in ▁the ▁case ▁of ▁Jesus ▁ ▁In ▁his ▁book ▁Cru c if ix ion ▁in ▁Anti qu ity , ▁G unn ar ▁Samuel sson ▁decl ares ▁that , ▁while ▁the ▁New ▁Testament ▁termin ology ▁is ▁in ▁itself ▁not ▁conclus ive ▁one ▁way ▁or ▁another ▁for ▁the ▁meaning ▁of ▁the ▁word , ▁"[ t ] here ▁is ▁a ▁good ▁possibility ▁that ▁ σ τ α υ ρ ό ς , ▁when ▁used ▁by ▁the ▁evangel ists , ▁already ▁had ▁been ▁charged ▁with ▁a ▁distinct ▁den ot ation ▁− ▁from ▁Cal v ary . ▁When , ▁e . g ., ▁Mark ▁used ▁the ▁n oun |
▁it ▁could ▁have ▁meant ▁' cross ' ▁in ▁the ▁sense ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁Church ▁later ▁perce ived ▁it . ▁[...] ▁The ▁G ospel ▁accounts ▁probably ▁show ▁that ▁ σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ▁could ▁sign ify ▁" cross " ▁in ▁the ▁mentioned ▁sense , ▁but ▁they ▁do ▁not ▁show ▁that ▁it ▁always ▁did ▁so ." ▁In ▁his ▁Q ▁and ▁A ▁page ▁he ▁adds : ▁"( The ▁G osp els ) ▁do ▁not ▁describe ▁the ▁event ▁in ▁length ▁[...] ▁The ▁non - d etailed ▁accounts ▁of ▁the ▁G osp els ▁do ▁not , ▁however , ▁contradict ▁the ▁traditional ▁understanding . ▁So ▁the ▁traditional ▁understanding ▁of ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁Jesus ▁is ▁correct , ▁but ▁we ▁could ▁acknow ledge ▁that ▁it ▁is ▁more ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁e y ew it ness ▁accounts ▁than ▁the ▁actual ▁passion ▁narr atives ." ▁ ▁The ▁New ▁International ▁Dictionary ▁of ▁New ▁Testament ▁The ology , ▁dealing ▁specifically ▁with ▁the ▁cru c if ix ion ▁of ▁Jesus , ▁says ▁it ▁is ▁most ▁likely ▁that ▁the ▁st au ros ▁had ▁a ▁trans verse ▁in ▁the ▁form ▁of ▁a ▁cross be am . ▁" Sec ular ▁sources ▁do ▁not ▁permit ▁any ▁conclusion ▁to ▁be ▁drawn ▁as ▁to ▁the ▁precise ▁form ▁of ▁the ▁cross , ▁as ▁to ▁whether ▁it ▁was ▁the ▁cru x ▁imm issa ▁(† ) ▁or ▁cru x ▁comm issa ▁( T ). ▁As ▁it ▁was ▁not ▁very ▁common ▁to ▁aff ix ▁a ▁tit los ▁( sup ers cription , ▁loan word ▁from ▁the ▁Lat . ▁tit ulus ), ▁it ▁does |
▁not ▁necessarily ▁follow ▁that ▁the ▁cross ▁had ▁the ▁form ▁of ▁a ▁cru x ▁imm issa ." ▁ ▁The ▁authors ▁say ▁there ▁were ▁two ▁possible ▁ways ▁of ▁ere ct ing ▁the ▁st au ros , ▁which ▁would ▁probably ▁have ▁been ▁not ▁much ▁higher ▁than ▁the ▁height ▁of ▁a ▁man . ▁The ▁condem ned ▁man ▁could ▁be ▁fast ened ▁to ▁the ▁cross ▁lying ▁on ▁the ▁ground ▁at ▁the ▁place ▁of ▁execution , ▁then ▁lifted ▁up ▁on ▁it . ▁Alternatively , ▁it ▁was ▁probably ▁usual ▁to ▁have ▁the ▁st ake ▁impl anted ▁in ▁the ▁ground ▁before ▁the ▁execution . ▁The ▁victim ▁was ▁tied ▁to ▁the ▁cross pie ce ▁and ▁was ▁ho isted ▁up ▁with ▁the ▁horizontal ▁beam ▁and ▁made ▁fast ▁to ▁the ▁vertical ▁st ake . ▁They ▁say ▁that ▁as ▁this ▁was ▁the ▁simpler ▁form ▁of ▁ere ction , ▁and ▁the ▁carrying ▁of ▁the ▁cross be am ▁( pat ib ul um ) ▁was ▁probably ▁a ▁form ▁of ▁pun ishment ▁for ▁slaves , ▁the ▁cru x ▁comm issa ▁may ▁be ▁taken ▁as ▁the ▁normal ▁practice . ▁ ▁Other ▁reference ▁works ▁cont end ▁the ▁cross ▁was ▁" a ▁post ▁with ▁a ▁cross - be am " ▁( The ological ▁Dictionary ▁of ▁the ▁New ▁Testament ), ▁" the ▁form ▁usually ▁seen ▁in ▁pictures , ▁the ▁cru x ▁imm issa ▁( Lat in ▁cross ▁† ), ▁... ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁u pr ight ▁beam ▁projects ▁above ▁the ▁shorter ▁cross pie ce " ▁( Intern ational ▁Standard ▁Bible ▁Encyclopedia ); ▁and ▁" most ▁likely ▁the ▁cru x ▁imm issa ▁( |
the ▁traditional ▁† ▁dep iction ) ▁or ▁the ▁cru x ▁comm issa ▁( a ▁T - sh aped ▁cross )" ▁( John ▁R . ▁Don ah ue ▁and ▁Daniel ▁J . ▁Harr ington , ▁The ▁G ospel ▁of ▁Mark ). ▁Don ah ue ▁and ▁Harr ington ▁suggest : ▁" The ▁victim ▁was ▁first ▁aff ixed ▁to ▁the ▁cross be am ▁( pat ib ul um ) ▁with ▁ro pes ▁and / or ▁n ails ▁through ▁the ▁w rist s ▁or ▁for ear ms . ▁Then ▁the ▁cross be am ▁was ▁fitted ▁on ▁the ▁vertical ▁beam ▁and ▁the ▁victim ▁was ▁lifted ▁up ▁and ▁set ▁on ▁a ▁p eg ▁or ▁" se at " ▁on ▁the ▁vertical ▁beam ▁and ▁perhaps ▁also ▁on ▁a ▁foot rest . ▁The ▁idea ▁was ▁to ▁prolong ▁the ▁ag ony , ▁not ▁to ▁make ▁the ▁victim ▁more ▁comfortable ." ▁ ▁Other ▁technical ▁details ▁ ▁Foundation ▁in ▁the ▁ground ▁The ▁question ▁of ▁the ▁nature ▁of ▁the ▁foundation ▁for ▁the ▁cross ▁used ▁to ▁cru c ify ▁Jesus , ▁is ▁related ▁to ▁whether ▁Jesus ▁carried ▁only ▁the ▁pat ib ul um ▁or ▁the ▁full ▁cross ▁( pat ib ul um ▁and ▁st ipes ) ▁to ▁Gol g oth a ▁- ▁as ▁to ▁whether ▁the ▁u pr ight ▁st ipes ▁was ▁a ▁permanent ▁fi xture ▁on ▁Gol g oth a , ▁or ▁whether ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁permanent , ▁or ▁spe cially ▁prepared ▁rein for ced ▁hole ▁for ▁the ▁base ▁of ▁the ▁st ipes . ▁This ▁also ▁rel ates ▁to ▁the ▁height ▁of ▁the ▁cross , |
▁where ▁estimates ▁vary ▁from ▁ ▁to ▁ ▁in ▁height . ▁ ▁Method ▁of ▁fast ening ▁victim ▁ ▁Some ▁theories ▁suggest ▁ 3 ▁n ails ▁were ▁used ▁to ▁fast en ▁vict ims ▁while ▁others ▁suggest ▁ 4 ▁n ails . ▁Through out ▁history , ▁larger ▁numbers ▁of ▁n ails ▁have ▁been ▁hypoth es ized , ▁at ▁times ▁as ▁high ▁as ▁ 1 4 ▁n ails . ▁The ▁placing ▁of ▁the ▁n ails ▁in ▁the ▁hands , ▁or ▁the ▁w rist s ▁is ▁also ▁uncertain . ▁Another ▁theory ▁suggests ▁that ▁the ▁Greek ▁word ▁ ▁for ▁hand ▁also ▁includes ▁the ▁for ear m ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁n ails ▁were ▁placed ▁near ▁the ▁radius ▁and ▁ul na ▁of ▁the ▁for ear m . ▁R op es ▁may ▁have ▁also ▁been ▁used ▁to ▁fast en ▁the ▁hands ▁in ▁addition ▁to ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁n ails . ▁ ▁Foot rest ▁Another ▁issue ▁has ▁been ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁a ▁hyp op od ium ▁as ▁a ▁standing ▁platform ▁to ▁support ▁the ▁feet , ▁given ▁that ▁the ▁hands ▁may ▁not ▁have ▁been ▁able ▁to ▁support ▁the ▁weight . ▁In ▁the ▁ 2 0 th ▁century , ▁for ens ic ▁path ologist ▁Frederick ▁Zug ibe ▁performed ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁cru c if ix ion ▁experiments ▁by ▁using ▁ro pes ▁to ▁hang ▁human ▁subjects ▁at ▁various ▁angles ▁and ▁hand ▁positions . ▁ ▁Term in ology ▁ ▁Greek ▁x yl on ▁(" tim ber , ▁tree ") ▁In ▁the ▁Heb rew ▁Bible ▁De uter onomy ▁ 2 1 : 2 3 ▁states ▁that ▁" c |
urs ed ▁of ▁God ▁is ▁everyone ▁who ▁hang s ▁on ▁a ▁tree ". ▁In ▁the ▁Sept u ag int ▁this ▁became ▁ ἐ π ὶ ▁ ξ ύ λ ο υ ▁( ep i ▁x yl ou ). ▁The ▁word ▁ ξ ύ λ ο ν ▁( x yl on ) ▁can ▁mean ▁anything ▁made ▁of ▁wood , ▁even ▁something ▁as ▁complex ▁as ▁the ▁Tro jan ▁horse , ▁and ▁applies ▁also ▁to ▁a ▁tree , ▁even ▁a ▁living ▁one , ▁such ▁as ▁that ▁described ▁in ▁the ▁Book ▁of ▁Re vel ation ▁ 2 2 : 2 ▁as ▁the ▁tree ▁of ▁life ▁bearing ▁fruit ▁every ▁month ▁and ▁whose ▁leaves ▁serve ▁for ▁he aling . ▁This ▁word ▁is ▁used ▁in ▁the ▁New ▁Testament ▁to ▁refer ▁to ▁that ▁on ▁which ▁Jesus ▁died : ▁Peter ' s ▁ 3 ▁uses ▁of ▁x yl on ▁( in ▁English ▁B ibles ▁" tree ") ▁compared ▁to ▁Paul ▁who ▁only ▁uses ▁x yl on ▁" pie ce ▁of ▁wood " ▁once . ▁ ▁In ▁Greek ▁texts ▁the ▁word ▁x yl on ▁could ▁be ▁used ▁for ▁any ▁object ▁made ▁of ▁wood , ▁including ▁in ▁varying ▁context s , ▁gall ows , ▁stock s , ▁p ales ▁and ▁st akes . ▁Therefore , ▁the ▁traditional ▁Christian ▁cross ▁with ▁a ▁horizontal ▁cross be am ▁would ▁also ▁be ▁called ▁x yl on . ▁In ▁L idd ell ▁and ▁Scott , ▁the ▁mean ings ▁of ▁the ▁word ▁" ξ ύ λ ο ν " ▁are ▁class ified ▁under ▁five ▁head ings : ▁: I . |

▁the ▁word ▁st au ros ▁was ▁also ▁used ▁by ▁writers ▁of ▁the ▁early ▁Christian ▁period ▁to ▁refer ▁to ▁a ▁construction ▁with ▁trans om . ▁ ▁Using ▁the ▁Greek ▁word ▁ σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ▁in ▁its ▁ver bal ▁form , ▁the ▁Jewish ▁historian ▁Joseph us ▁too , ▁writing ▁of ▁the ▁sie ge ▁of ▁Jerusalem ▁in ▁AD ▁ 7 0 , ▁rec ount ed ▁that ▁the ▁Jews ▁caught ▁outside ▁the ▁city ▁walls ▁" w ere ▁first ▁wh ipped , ▁and ▁then ▁tor ment ed ▁with ▁all ▁sorts ▁of ▁tort ures , ▁before ▁they ▁died , ▁and ▁were ▁then ▁cru c ified ▁before ▁the ▁wall ▁of ▁the ▁city ▁… ▁the ▁soldiers , ▁out ▁of ▁the ▁wr ath ▁and ▁hat red ▁they ▁bore ▁the ▁Jews , ▁na iled ▁those ▁they ▁caught , ▁one ▁after ▁one ▁way , ▁and ▁another ▁after ▁another , ▁to ▁the ▁cross es , ▁by ▁way ▁of ▁jest ." ▁ ▁D ion ys ius ▁of ▁Hal ic arn ass us , ▁who ▁lived ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁birth ▁of ▁Jesus , ▁described ▁how ▁those ▁condem ned ▁to ▁cru c if ix ion ▁were ▁led ▁to ▁the ▁place ▁of ▁execution : ▁ ▁D ion ys ius ▁here ▁uses ▁the ▁Greek ▁word ▁x yl on ▁( ξ ύ λ ο ν ) ▁for ▁the ▁horizontal ▁cross be am ▁( the ▁" pat ib ul um ") ▁used ▁in ▁Roman ▁cru c if ix ions ; ▁he ▁describes ▁how ▁the ▁hands ▁of ▁the ▁condem ned ▁man ▁were ▁tied ▁to ▁it ▁( χ |

▁or ▁shapes ▁that ▁such ▁g ib b ets ▁had , ▁Christians ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁centuries ▁are ▁un anim ous ▁in ▁describing ▁the ▁particular ▁structure ▁on ▁which ▁Jesus ▁died ▁as ▁having ▁a ▁trans om , ▁not ▁as ▁a ▁simple ▁u pr ight . ▁ ▁The ▁pse ude p ig raph ic ▁Ep ist le ▁of ▁Bar nab as , ▁which ▁sch ol ars ▁suggest ▁may ▁have ▁been ▁before ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁century , ▁and ▁certainly ▁earlier ▁than ▁ 1 3 5 , ▁whether ▁the ▁writer ▁was ▁an ▁orth odox ▁Christian ▁or ▁not , ▁described ▁the ▁shape ▁people ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁attributed ▁to ▁the ▁device ▁on ▁which ▁Jesus ▁died : ▁the ▁compar isons ▁it ▁draw s ▁with ▁Old ▁Testament ▁figures ▁would ▁have ▁had ▁no ▁valid ity ▁for ▁its ▁readers ▁if ▁they ▁p ict ured ▁Jesus ▁as ▁dying ▁on ▁a ▁simple ▁st ake . ▁Refer ring ▁to ▁what ▁he ▁saw ▁as ▁Old ▁Testament ▁int im ations ▁of ▁Jesus ▁and ▁his ▁cross , ▁he ▁li ken ed ▁the ▁cross ▁to ▁the ▁letter ▁T ▁( the ▁Greek ▁letter ▁t au , ▁which ▁had ▁the ▁numeric ▁value ▁of ▁ 3 0 0 ), ▁thus ▁describing ▁it ▁as ▁having ▁a ▁cross be am . ▁He ▁also ▁wrote , ▁with ▁regard ▁to ▁: ▁" The ▁Spirit ▁sa ith ▁to ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁Mos es , ▁that ▁he ▁should ▁make ▁a ▁type ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁and ▁of ▁Him ▁that ▁was ▁to ▁suffer , ▁that ▁unless , ▁sa ith ▁He , ▁they ▁shall ▁set ▁their ▁hope ▁on ▁Him , |
▁war ▁shall ▁be ▁w aged ▁against ▁them ▁for ▁ever . ▁Mos es ▁therefore ▁p ile th ▁arms ▁one ▁upon ▁another ▁in ▁the ▁midst ▁of ▁the ▁encounter , ▁and ▁standing ▁on ▁higher ▁ground ▁than ▁any ▁he ▁stretch ed ▁out ▁his ▁hands , ▁and ▁so ▁Israel ▁was ▁again ▁vict orious ." ▁ ▁C els us ▁( as ▁quoted ▁by ▁Or igen ▁Cont ra ▁C els um , ▁II : 3 6 ) ▁< ref > Ε <0xE1> <0xBC> <0xB6> τ α ▁ φ η σ ὶ ν ▁ ὁ ▁ Κ έ λ σ ος : ▁ Τ ί ▁ φ η σ ὶ ▁ κ α ὶ ▁ ἀ ν α σ κ ο λ ο π ι ζ ο μ έ ν ο υ ▁ τ ο ῦ ▁ σ ώ μ α τ ος ; ▁( Cont ra ▁C els um , ▁II : 3 6 ]) </ ref > ▁and ▁Or igen ▁himself < ref > Cont ra ▁C els um , ▁III , ▁ 3 2 ] </ ref > ▁uses ▁the ▁verb ▁" ἀ ν α σ κ ο λ ο π ί ζ ω ", ▁which ▁originally ▁meant ▁" to ▁imp ale ", ▁of ▁the ▁cru c if ix ion ▁of ▁Jesus . ▁It ▁was ▁considered ▁syn onymous < ref ▁name = III 3 2 >" κ α ὶ ▁" Κ ρ ά ξ α ς ▁ φ ω ν <0xE1> <0xBF> <0x87> ▁ μ ε γ ά λ <0xE1> <0xBF> <0x83> ▁ ἀ φ ῆ κ ε |

▁on ▁C au cas us ▁Luci an ▁describes ▁Prom ethe us ▁as ▁cru c ified ▁" with ▁his ▁hands ▁out st retch ed ". ▁ ▁The ▁ 2 nd - century ▁O des ▁of ▁Sol omon , ▁probably ▁by ▁a ▁heter odox ▁Christian , ▁includes ▁the ▁following : ▁" I ▁extended ▁my ▁hands ▁and ▁h allowed ▁my ▁Lord , ▁/ For ▁the ▁expansion ▁of ▁my ▁hands ▁is ▁His ▁sign . ▁/ And ▁my ▁extension ▁is ▁the ▁u pr ight ▁cross ▁( σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ). " ▁ ▁Justin ▁Mart yr ▁( 1 0 0 – 1 6 5 ) ▁explicitly ▁says ▁the ▁cross ▁of ▁Christ ▁was ▁of ▁two - be am ▁shape : ▁" That ▁l amb ▁which ▁was ▁commanded ▁to ▁be ▁wh olly ▁ro asted ▁was ▁a ▁symbol ▁of ▁the ▁suffering ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁which ▁Christ ▁would ▁under go . ▁For ▁the ▁l amb , ▁which ▁is ▁ro asted , ▁is ▁ro asted ▁and ▁dressed ▁up ▁in ▁the ▁form ▁of ▁the ▁cross . ▁For ▁one ▁sp it ▁is ▁trans fixed ▁right ▁through ▁from ▁the ▁lower ▁parts ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁head , ▁and ▁one ▁across ▁the ▁back , ▁to ▁which ▁are ▁attached ▁the ▁legs ▁of ▁the ▁l amb ." ▁ ▁Like ▁the ▁Ep ist le ▁of ▁Bar nab as , ▁Justin ▁saw ▁the ▁stretch ed - out ▁hands ▁of ▁Mos es ▁in ▁the ▁battle ▁against ▁Ama lek ▁as ▁for esh adow ing ▁the ▁cross ▁of ▁Jesus : ▁" If ▁he ▁gave ▁up ▁any ▁part ▁of ▁this ▁sign , ▁which |
▁was ▁an ▁im itation ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁( σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ), ▁the ▁people ▁were ▁be aten , ▁as ▁is ▁recorded ▁in ▁the ▁writ ings ▁of ▁Mos es ; ▁but ▁if ▁he ▁remained ▁in ▁this ▁form , ▁Ama lek ▁was ▁proportion ally ▁defeated , ▁and ▁he ▁who ▁pre va iled ▁pre va iled ▁by ▁the ▁cross ▁( σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ). ▁For ▁it ▁was ▁not ▁because ▁Mos es ▁so ▁pray ed ▁that ▁the ▁people ▁were ▁stronger , ▁but ▁because , ▁while ▁one ▁who ▁bore ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁Jesus ▁( J osh ua ) ▁was ▁in ▁the ▁fore front ▁of ▁the ▁battle , ▁he ▁himself ▁made ▁the ▁sign ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁( σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ). " ▁ ▁In ▁his ▁First ▁Ap ology , ▁ 5 5 ▁Justin ▁refers ▁to ▁various ▁objects ▁as ▁sh aped ▁like ▁the ▁cross ▁of ▁Christ : ▁" The ▁sea ▁is ▁not ▁travers ed ▁except ▁that ▁tro phy ▁which ▁is ▁called ▁a ▁sail ▁ab ide ▁safe ▁in ▁the ▁ship ▁… ▁And ▁the ▁human ▁form ▁diff ers ▁from ▁that ▁of ▁the ▁ir r ational ▁animals ▁in ▁nothing ▁else ▁than ▁in ▁its ▁being ▁ere ct ▁and ▁having ▁the ▁hands ▁extended , ▁and ▁having ▁on ▁the ▁face ▁extending ▁from ▁the ▁fore head ▁what ▁is ▁called ▁the ▁nose , ▁through ▁which ▁there ▁is ▁resp iration ▁for ▁the ▁living ▁creature ; ▁and ▁this ▁shows ▁no ▁other ▁form ▁than ▁that ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁( σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ).

▁The ▁ap oc ry phal ▁Act s ▁of ▁Peter , ▁of ▁the ▁second ▁half ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁century , ▁attach es ▁symbol ic ▁significance ▁to ▁the ▁u pr ight ▁and ▁the ▁cross be am ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁of ▁Jesus : ▁" What ▁else ▁is ▁Christ , ▁but ▁the ▁word , ▁the ▁sound ▁of ▁God ? ▁So ▁that ▁the ▁word ▁is ▁the ▁u pr ight ▁beam ▁( to ▁orth on ▁x ul on ) ▁where on ▁I ▁am ▁cru c ified . ▁And ▁the ▁sound ▁is ▁that ▁which ▁cross eth ▁it ▁( to ▁pl ag ion ), ▁the ▁nature ▁of ▁man . ▁And ▁the ▁n ail ▁which ▁hold eth ▁the ▁cross - tree ▁unto ▁the ▁u pr ight ▁in ▁the ▁midst ▁there of ▁is ▁the ▁conversion ▁and ▁rep ent ance ▁of ▁man ." ▁ ▁I ren ae us , ▁who ▁died ▁around ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁century , ▁speak s ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁as ▁having ▁" five ▁extrem ities , ▁two ▁in ▁length , ▁two ▁in ▁bread th , ▁and ▁one ▁in ▁the ▁middle , ▁on ▁which ▁[ last ] ▁the ▁person ▁rest s ▁who ▁is ▁fixed ▁by ▁the ▁n ails ." ▁ ▁Hi pp ol yt us ▁of ▁Rome ▁( 1 7 0 ▁– ▁ 2 3 5 ▁AD ), ▁writing ▁about ▁the ▁bless ing ▁Jacob ▁obtained ▁from ▁his ▁father ▁Isaac ▁( ), ▁said : ▁" The ▁sk ins ▁which ▁were ▁put ▁upon ▁his ▁arms ▁are ▁the ▁s ins ▁of ▁both ▁pe op les , ▁which ▁Christ , |

▁forward ▁with ▁expanded ▁o ars ; ▁and ▁when ▁the ▁military ▁y oke ▁is ▁lifted ▁up , ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁sign ▁of ▁a ▁cross ; ▁and ▁when ▁a ▁man ▁ad ores ▁God ▁with ▁a ▁pure ▁mind , ▁with ▁hands ▁out st retch ed . ▁Thus ▁the ▁sign ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁either ▁is ▁sust ained ▁by ▁a ▁natural ▁reason , ▁or ▁your ▁own ▁religion ▁is ▁formed ▁with ▁respect ▁to ▁it ." ▁ ▁In ▁language ▁very ▁similar ▁to ▁that ▁of ▁Min u cius ▁Felix , ▁T ert ul li an , ▁too , ▁who ▁distinguished ▁between ▁st ipes ▁( st ake ) ▁and ▁cru x ▁( cross ), ▁noted ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁the ▁cross ▁that ▁people ▁associated ▁with ▁Christian ity . ▁And ▁he ▁indicated ▁that ▁the ▁shape ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁is ▁that ▁of ▁the ▁letter ▁T : ▁" The ▁Greek ▁letter ▁T au ▁and ▁our ▁own ▁letter ▁T ▁is ▁the ▁very ▁form ▁of ▁the ▁cross , ▁which ▁( G od ) ▁predicted ▁would ▁be ▁the ▁sign ▁on ▁our ▁fore head s ", ▁and ▁compared ▁it ▁to ▁the ▁shape ▁of ▁a ▁bird ▁with ▁out st retch ed ▁wings . ▁ ▁The ▁anti - Christ ian ▁arguments ▁thus ▁c ited ▁in ▁the ▁Oct av ius ▁of ▁Min u cius ▁Felix , ▁chap ters ▁IX ▁and ▁XX IX , ▁and ▁T ert ul li an ' s ▁Ap ology , ▁ 1 6 ▁show ▁that ▁the ▁cross ▁symbol ▁was ▁already ▁associated ▁with ▁Christians ▁in ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁century . ▁T ert ul li an ▁could ▁design ate ▁the |
▁body ▁of ▁Christian ▁bel ie vers ▁as ▁cru cis ▁religios i , ▁i . e . ▁" dev ote es ▁of ▁the ▁Cross ". ▁In ▁his ▁book ▁De ▁Cor ona , ▁written ▁in ▁ 2 0 4 , ▁T ert ul li an ▁tells ▁how ▁it ▁was ▁already ▁a ▁tradition ▁for ▁Christians ▁to ▁trace ▁repeatedly ▁on ▁their ▁fore head s ▁the ▁sign ▁of ▁the ▁cross . ▁ ▁So ▁closely ▁associated ▁with ▁Christ ▁was ▁the ▁cross ▁that ▁Clement ▁of ▁Alexand ria , ▁who ▁died ▁between ▁ 2 1 1 ▁and ▁ 2 1 6 , ▁could ▁without ▁fear ▁of ▁ambigu ity ▁use ▁the ▁phrase ▁ τ ὸ ▁ κ υ ρ ι α κ ὸ ν ▁ σ η μ ε ῖ ο ν ▁( the ▁Lord ' s ▁sign ) ▁to ▁mean ▁the ▁cross , ▁when ▁he ▁repeated ▁the ▁idea , ▁current ▁as ▁early ▁as ▁the ▁Ep ist le ▁of ▁Bar nab as , ▁that ▁the ▁number ▁ 3 1 8 ▁( in ▁Greek ▁numer als , ▁ Τ Ι Η ) ▁in ▁ ▁was ▁a ▁for esh adow ing ▁( a ▁" type ") ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁( T , ▁an ▁u pr ight ▁with ▁cross bar , ▁standing ▁for ▁ 3 0 0 ) ▁and ▁of ▁Jesus ▁( Ι Η , ▁the ▁first ▁two ▁letter ▁of ▁his ▁name ▁ Ι Η Σ Ο Υ Σ , ▁standing ▁for ▁ 1 8 ). ▁ ▁For ▁other ▁ 2 nd - century ▁instances ▁of ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁cross , ▁in ▁its ▁familiar |
▁form , ▁as ▁a ▁Christian ▁symbol , ▁see ▁the ▁references ▁in ▁the ▁Jewish ▁Encyclopedia ▁article ▁on ▁the ▁cross : ▁The ▁cross ▁as ▁a ▁Christian ▁symbol ▁or ▁" se al " ▁came ▁into ▁use ▁at ▁least ▁as ▁early ▁as ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁century ▁( see ▁" A post . ▁Const ." ▁i ii . ▁ 1 7 ; ▁Ep ist le ▁of ▁Bar nab as , ▁x i .- x ii .; ▁Justin , ▁" Ap ologia ," ▁i . ▁ 5 5 - 6 0 ; ▁" D ial . ▁cum ▁Try ph ." ▁ 8 5 - 9 7 ); ▁and ▁the ▁mark ing ▁of ▁a ▁cross ▁upon ▁the ▁fore head ▁and ▁the ▁ch est ▁was ▁regarded ▁as ▁a ▁t alis man ▁against ▁the ▁powers ▁of ▁dem ons ▁( T ert ul li an , ▁" De ▁Cor ona ," ▁i ii .; ▁C yp rian , ▁" Test imon ies ," ▁x i . ▁ 2 1 - 2 2 ; ▁L act ant ius , ▁" Div in æ ▁Institution es ," ▁iv . ▁ 2 7 , ▁and ▁elsewhere ). ▁According ly , ▁the ▁Christian ▁F athers ▁had ▁to ▁defend ▁themselves , ▁as ▁early ▁as ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁century , ▁against ▁the ▁charge ▁of ▁being ▁worship ers ▁of ▁the ▁cross , ▁as ▁may ▁be ▁learned ▁from ▁T ert ul li an , ▁" Ap ologia ," ▁x ii ., ▁x vi i ., ▁and ▁Min u cius ▁Felix , ▁" Oct av ius ," ▁xx ix . |
▁Christians ▁used ▁to ▁swe ar ▁by ▁the ▁power ▁of ▁the ▁cross ▁( see ▁Ap ocal yp se ▁of ▁Mary , ▁v iii ., ▁in ▁James , ▁" Text s ▁and ▁Studies ," ▁ ▁i ii . ▁ 1 1 8 ). ▁ ▁Arch ae ology ▁ ▁The ▁significance ▁of ▁the ▁remains ▁of ▁Je h oh an an , ▁a ▁man ▁cru c ified ▁in ▁Palest ine ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁century , ▁has ▁been ▁interpreted ▁in ▁different ▁ways , ▁and ▁in ▁any ▁case ▁does ▁not ▁prove ▁that ▁Jesus ▁was ▁executed ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁way . ▁ ▁The ▁Alex amen os ▁gra ff ito , ▁which ▁was ▁once ▁thought ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁earliest ▁surv iving ▁p ict orial ▁representation ▁of ▁a ▁cru c if ix ion ▁and ▁has ▁been ▁interpreted ▁as ▁mock ery ▁of ▁a ▁Christian , ▁shows ▁a ▁cross ▁as ▁an ▁instrument ▁of ▁execution . ▁Its ▁date ▁is ▁uncertain : ▁some ▁have ▁pos ited ▁for ▁it ▁a ▁date ▁as ▁early ▁as ▁ 8 5 , ▁but ▁it ▁may ▁be ▁as ▁late ▁as ▁the ▁ 3 rd ▁century , ▁and ▁even ▁thus ▁prior ▁to ▁AD ▁ 3 0 0 . ▁ ▁What ▁now ▁appears ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁most ▁ancient ▁surv iving ▁image ▁of ▁a ▁Roman ▁cru c if ix ion ▁is ▁a ▁gra ff ito ▁found ▁in ▁a ▁tab erna ▁( an ▁inn ▁for ▁way far ers ) ▁in ▁P ute oli , ▁d ating ▁from ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁Tra jan ▁( 9 8 – 1 1 7 ) ▁or ▁Had rian ▁( |
1 1 7 – 1 3 8 ). ▁The ▁cross ▁has ▁the ▁T ▁shape . ▁ ▁The ▁cross ▁in ▁Christian ▁art ▁history ▁ ▁In ▁Christian ▁art ▁Jesus ▁is ▁generally ▁dep icted ▁as ▁carrying ▁a ▁whole ▁cross ▁- ▁pat ib ul um ▁and ▁st ipes . ▁ ▁Je hov ah ' s ▁Wit ness es ▁Je hov ah ' s ▁Wit ness es ▁assert ▁that ▁the ▁device ▁used ▁for ▁Jesus ' ▁execution ▁was ▁a ▁simple ▁u pr ight ▁st ake , ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁cross ▁was ▁adopted ▁as ▁a ▁Christian ▁symbol ▁only ▁under ▁the ▁ 4 th - century ▁em peror ▁Const antine ▁the ▁Great . ▁The ▁New ▁World ▁Trans lation ▁of ▁the ▁Bible ▁therefore ▁uses ▁the ▁phrase ▁" t ort ure ▁st ake " ▁to ▁translate ▁the ▁Greek ▁word ▁ σ τ α υ ρ ό ς ▁( st au ros ) ▁at ▁ ▁Matthew ▁ 2 7 : 4 0 , ▁Mark ▁ 1 5 : 3 0 ▁and ▁Luke ▁ 2 3 : 2 6 . ▁ ▁The ▁ 1 9 8 4 ▁reference ▁edition ▁of ▁the ▁New ▁World ▁Trans lation ▁reprodu ces ▁an ▁illustr ation ▁from ▁a ▁work ▁by ▁ 1 6 th ▁century ▁phil ologist ▁Just us ▁Li ps ius ▁showing ▁a ▁man ▁susp ended ▁by ▁the ▁w rist s ▁on ▁a ▁cru x ▁simple x ▁( ad ▁aff ix ion em ) ▁or ▁u pr ight ▁pole . ▁However , ▁it ▁om its ▁Li ps ius ' ▁other ▁illustr ations ▁of ▁such ▁execution s ▁showing ▁a ▁traditional - |

. ▁ ▁Early ▁career ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 7 6 , ▁during ▁vis its ▁to ▁the ▁poor est ▁households ▁in ▁the ▁village ▁of ▁Job ra ▁near ▁Ch itt ag ong ▁University , ▁Y un us ▁discovered ▁that ▁very ▁small ▁lo ans ▁could ▁make ▁a ▁dis pro port ion ate ▁difference ▁to ▁a ▁poor ▁person . ▁Village ▁women ▁who ▁made ▁b am bo o ▁furn iture ▁had ▁to ▁take ▁us ur ious ▁lo ans ▁to ▁buy ▁b am bo o , ▁and ▁rep ay ▁their ▁prof its ▁to ▁the ▁l enders . ▁Trad itional ▁banks ▁did ▁not ▁want ▁to ▁make ▁tiny ▁lo ans ▁at ▁reasonable ▁interest ▁to ▁the ▁poor ▁due ▁to ▁high ▁risk ▁of ▁default . ▁But ▁Y un us ▁believed ▁that , ▁given ▁the ▁chance , ▁the ▁poor ▁will ▁rep ay ▁the ▁money ▁and ▁hence ▁micro cred it ▁was ▁a ▁vi able ▁business ▁model . ▁ ▁Y un us ▁l ent ▁US $ 2 7 ▁of ▁his ▁money ▁to ▁ 4 2 ▁women ▁in ▁the ▁village , ▁who ▁made ▁a ▁profit ▁of ▁B DT ▁ 0 . 5 0 ▁( US $ 0 . 0 2 ) ▁each ▁on ▁the ▁loan . ▁ ▁Thus , ▁Y un us ▁is ▁cred ited ▁with ▁the ▁idea ▁of ▁micro cred it . ▁ ▁In ▁December ▁ 1 9 7 6 , ▁Y un us ▁finally ▁secured ▁a ▁loan ▁from ▁the ▁government ▁Jan ata ▁Bank ▁to ▁l end ▁to ▁the ▁poor ▁in ▁Job ra . ▁The ▁institution ▁continued ▁to ▁operate , ▁se cur ing ▁lo ans |
▁from ▁other ▁banks ▁for ▁its ▁projects . ▁By ▁ 1 9 8 2 , ▁it ▁had ▁ 2 8 , 0 0 0 ▁members . ▁On ▁ 1 ▁October ▁ 1 9 8 3 , ▁the ▁pilot ▁project ▁began ▁operation ▁as ▁a ▁full - f led ged ▁bank ▁for ▁poor ▁Bang l adesh is ▁and ▁was ▁renamed ▁Gr ame en ▁Bank ▁(" V ill age ▁Bank ").
