Synopsis

Two courts, one dramatic trial: a legal study of Jesus that blends Jewish law with Roman power. This nonfiction volume examines how the Hebrew Sanhedrin and the Roman courts jointly shaped the trial of Jesus, highlighting the legal principles, procedures, and cultural forces at work. It treats the case as a landmark in the history of law where sacred law meets imperial justice, offering a careful, fact-based look at the events and their context.

The book frames the trial within a broader legal and social world, showing how the Mosaic Code guided the Sanhedrin and how Roman law and governance influenced the proceedings. It also explores associated topics—like how pagan practices, divination, and the era’s religious politics shaped the atmosphere around the case. Readers will see why this trial is often described as a unique intersection of heaven and earth in the history of law.

- Learn how the Hebrew and Roman jurisdictions interacted and why that matters for understanding the trial.
- Explore the role of religious and political forces in shaping legal outcomes of the era.
- See how appendices provide biographical sketches and background materials that illuminate the judges and context.
- Understand the broader cultural and legal milieu, including references to ancient codes and practices.

Ideal for readers of legal history, religious studies, and early Christian studies, this edition offers grounded analysis and thoughtful context for the trial’s significance.
