(William Wetmore) A Roman Lawyer in Jerusalem : First Century Produced by Ted Garvin, Danny Wool and PG Distributed Proofreaders "A Roman Lawyer in Jerusalem: First Century" by William Wetmore Story is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of faith, betrayal, and morality within the context of the early Christian story, particularly focusing on the figure of Judas Iscariot and his motivations surrounding the betrayal of Jesus Christ. Story presents a narrative that intertwines legal reasoning and philosophical inquiry, examining the complexities of human actions and beliefs against the backdrop of Roman rule in Jerusalem. In the narrative, the protagonist, a Roman lawyer named Lysias, grapples with the enigmatic figure of Judas as he reflects on the events leading to the crucifixion of Jesus. Through a detailed exploration of Judas's character, Lysias investigates whether Judas's betrayal stemmed from malice or if he was instead a tragic figure led astray by misguided zeal. Lysias recounts the tumultuous and haunting moments of Judas's inner turmoil before and after the betrayal, culminating in a poignant examination of remorse and despair. This letter to his friend Caius serves to probe the moral ambiguities of Judas’s actions while also shedding light on the broader implications for faith and justice in a complex world.
