The Trial of Jesus Christ: A Legal Monograph

In this legal analysis, A. Taylor Innes examines the Hebrew and Roman trials of Jesus—individually and together—from a lawyer’s perspective. Innes explains to the general reader the fascinating legal circumstances of Jesus final hours, in which the classical jurisprudence of Rome intersected with the peculiar system of the Jewish state. He answers questions about the legality of Jesus’ punishment, whether Jesus received due process, and whether at least an attempt of justice was made according to the standards of the time.
