 Anglican theologian E. W. Bullinger, in "The Companion Bible" (which was completed and published in 1922, nine years after his 1913 death), was emphatic in his belief that "stauros" never meant two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, "but always of one piece alone ...There is nothing [of the word "stauros"] in the Greek of the N.T.even to imply two pieces of timber."
