Is this the book? The New Testament: An Introduction: Paul and Mark (or via: amazon.co.uk)

For the of the “forty less one” lashes, and that “the number of stripes [the culprit] can receive and remain alive, must be such that can be equally divided by three,” see the Talmud, in particular Tractate Maccoth, Chapter III, Mishna VI, here.
