Who killed Jesus...
the Jews or the Romans?
Did you know that the Sanhedrin broke the Jewish law 18 times during the illegal trial of Jesus? Attorney Earle Wingo approaches the crucifixion like a trial lawyer, showing one after another the ways in which Jesus was illegally tried. Wingo is a good writer, with an emotional and persuasive style. You would want him defending you in court.
This book was written many years ago, and we have had a lot of requests for it since Jack Chick has made references to it in his books. Now, with illustrations by Jack Chick added, we are releasing this revised edition to add fascinating detail to your study of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It will give new understanding to your Bible study, and provide you with fascinating details you can share with others if you are a teacher in your church.
You will learn:
Who the Jewish leaders were, and why they knew exactly what they were doing.
How many Jewish laws were broken in order to entrap Jesus.
How Jesus was arrested without being charged.
That Jewish law forbade nighttime trials, and one-day trials.
Why the eventual charge of blasphemy wasn't enough to put Jesus to death.
How the charges against Jesus were changed to get the Romans to kill Him.
