Reviews

[Sandra Strange · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book, a lawyer's look at the trials that condemned Christ, is a great Easter read. The author has researched both Jewish and Roman law contemporary with Christ's life. Both were violated continually when Christ was betrayed into the hands of the Jewish high priest, Sanhedrin, and the Roman authorities.

Parts were retellings of familiar details, but the most interesting to me were the sections about Jewish and Roman legal requirements for trials, and how they were broken for the trials of Christ. Good compilation of all the details of the trials and crucifixion of the Lord.

[Stephanne Stacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very informative book. Gave deeper meaning into some of the scripture references and explained laws mentioned in others. At times it seemed repetitive, but I believe it was necessary to make the points he needed to make. Worth the time to read it and should be a keeper in your religious library.

Offers a lot of insist into Jewish court proceedings. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the legal aspects of Jesus' trial.

The author does a good job for bring together the last days of Jesus life.
