Haim Cohn, a Justice of the Supreme Court of Israel, and a scholar of Jewish legal history, offers a profound and respectful engagement of the Gospel narrative of the trail and death of Jesus. Using information we possess from various scholarly sources concerning the law and procedures (both Jewish and Roman) pertaining at the time, Justice Cohn presents a searching forensic and historical analysis to create a legal, political and religious context of the events as they may really have happened.
