I took a new dive into this topic recently, and I am more convinced than ever that Jesus died on a cross. In fact, I have found more evidence now. Samuelsson did not provide any information to the contrary. It was disappointing to note that he should treat John 20:25 so lightly. In DAGEN he stated that the text was an indication that nails were used but stressed that the description of the suspension (which term he favors instead of crucifixion) does not mention any nails. If I were his opponent I would clamp down on that.
