"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. At the start of the book, Chandler introduces the concept of a dual jurisdiction regarding Jesus's trials, emphasizing the significance of the Hebrew trial conducted by the Sanhedrin before transitioning to the Roman trial overseen by Pilate. The author outlines the majestic gravity of the proceedings, stating that they were held before the two dominant legal authorities of the time—Hebrew and Roman. As the opening progresses, Chandler poses critical questions about the nature of the trials, the charges brought against Jesus, and the legal foundations upon which both trials were conducted. This establishes a framework for understanding the moral and legal implications of the trial process, setting the stage for a detailed legal analysis to follow.
