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

"The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer's Standpoint, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Walter M. Chandler is a book that uses law to look at the trial of Jesus Christ. The book zeroes in on the Hebrew trial before the big Sanhedrin group. Chandler tries to break down the facts and the legal parts of the trial, using old Hebrew laws and more modern legal ideas. The author also splits apart religious and regular meanings. Chandler starts unpacking the trial of Jesus by looking at how things went down and uses Hebrew and Roman legal systems. Legal questions come up, like whether the stuff in the Gospel stories is real and whether the witnesses were telling the complete truth. The book makes you think about the link between law, history, and faith by focusing on how legal rules were used back then.
