Publisher's Synopsis
The Trial of Jesus Christ: Between Human Justice and Divine Justice
The story of the trial of Jesus Christ before the Jewish religious authorities, led by Caiaphas, and then before the Roman political authority, represented by Pontius Pilate, is a pivotal event in the history of Christian faith. These trials were not merely passing legal proceedings, but rather a scene in which multiple dimensions were revealed.
On one hand, we see a struggle between truth and falsehood. On the other, a tension between the limitations of human justice and the sublimity of divine justice. During these events, the prophecies of the Old Testament were fulfilled with astonishing accuracy, confirming that what happened was no coincidence, but part of an eternal divine plan for the salvation of humanity.
This book aims to explore the details of these two trials, not only from a historical perspective that narrates the events, but also from a deep theological perspective that delves into the spiritual meanings and lessons learned. We will examine how Jesus Christ, the only righteous one, dealt with injustice and false accusations, and how these trials revealed the weakness of human nature and its inability to perceive divine truth. We will also highlight the intersection between religious authority, which sought to condemn Jesus based on its interpretations of the law, and temporal authority, which hesitated then yielded to pressure, showing how earthly justice can deviate from its path.
