Publisher's Synopsis
Did Jewish religious officials actually hang Jesus after he had been crucified? How did Paul, an accomplice in the murder of the disciple, Stephen, become the principal architect of Christianity? Was Jesus correct in forecasting judgment day? What was Jesus' mission here on earth, according to Jesus? In The Hanging Death of Jesus Christ-And Other New Testament Occurrences, author and former trial lawyer Richard Sutherland addresses these questions and more.
Employing a lawyer's analytical tools, Sutherland initiates a common-sense discussion in order to engage those who have questions about Jesus and Christianity. The Hanging Death of Jesus Christ seeks to discover what can be learned about Jesus and the New Testament by asking questions that trial lawyers would pose about certain passages. Sutherland, who has studied the Bible for many years, offers proof found in the words of the New Testament.
The Hanging Death of Jesus Christ presents a thought-provoking discussion of many issues that could change the way Christians view Jesus Christ and the New Testament.
