The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer's Standpoint, Vol. 2 (of 2) The Roman Trial
"The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer's Standpoint, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Walter M. Chandler is a legal analysis written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work delves into the Roman trial of Jesus Christ, exploring the complex legal frameworks of both Roman and Hebrew jurisprudence that intersected during this seminal historical event. The book presents a rigorous examination of the trials, specifically focusing on the roles of key figures involved such as Pontius Pilate, assessing their actions within the context of their legal obligations and procedures.
