The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer's Standpoint, Vol. 1 (of 2): The Hebrew Trial

Description

Reexamine one of history's most consequential legal proceeding through the eyes of a legal professional. In The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer's Standpoint, Vol. 1: The Hebrew Trial, Walter M. Chandler applies modern legal analysis to the biblical narrative, dissecting the procedural irregularities and jurisdictional conflicts that defined the trial of Jesus. This is not a theological treatise; it is a rigorous legal examination of the Hebrew judicial system in the first century.\n Chandler meticulously reconstructs the Sanhedrin's legal framework, highlighting the clash between Jewish law and Roman authority. He analyzes the legality of the charges, the role of the high priest as judge and accuser, and the procedural inconsistencies that shaped the outcome. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the legal history of the New Testament, law students, and those seeking a fresh perspective on the biblical narrative through the lens of legal procedure.
