Where Did Jesus Die? — Page 72
? 72 has no hesitation in saying, “It is scarcely accurate to say that the swoon theory to account for the Gospel narra- tives of the resurrection of Christ, has been discarded. It is repeated in a work published only a week or two ago, Paganism in our Christianity, by A. Weigall. ” Leaving aside the stalwart supporters of the theory like Paulus, Venturini, Bahrdut, and Schleiermacher 1 , we may mention only two more important publications which have just appeared on the continent: 1. Dog Jesus pa Korest? by Dr. Hugo Toll (Stockholm). 2. De Proces de Jesus by M. Paul Roue (Paris). Then there is the most important book, ‘The Crucifixion of Jesus by an Eyewitness’, published from Los Angeles in 1919, which gave the graphic narrative account of the whole. 2 Below I reproduce from the same number of the Review of Religions , the opinion of Dr. Hugo Toll, an eminent medical authority of Sweden. He, as the editor of ‘RR. ’ says, is 70 years of age (in 1929) and remained in charge of the Stockholm Hospital from 1897 to 1923. The learned doctor proves medically that Jesus did not die on the cross. The rendering of what Dr. Hugo Toll has written in his book Dog Jesus pa Korset? is as follows: 1. See The Quest of the Historical Jesus, by Albert Schweitzer, translated by W. Montgomery. London. 1910. 2. Review of Religions No. 9, 1928.
