King Diocletian
Magistrate
I'm probably in the minority here in that I prefer the scourging part of the crucifixion to the actual hanging from the cross (something that many noted about my story The Scapegoat - I've reattached it in case anybody wants to see it without having to trawl through a search), but I'm guessing most of us enjoy whipping. So, I was wondering, what are our favourite depictions of flogging either in film, pictures or writing?
I used to read out the story of the crucifixion in my Children's Bible, replacing the word 'Jesus' with the name of a woman and changing all the 'hims' to 'hers'. Anybody else do that? Now, of course, I've upgraded, and try imagine it's an actress rather than Jim Caviezel in The Passion of the Christ - although even for my tastes that gets too gory by the end. Steve Cordero, of course, has made that rather easier.
