The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer's Standpoint in 2 volumes is a work of American lawyer Walter M. Chandler in which he examines the Jewish trial of Jesus from a purely legal perspective. In the first volume Chandler establishes the New Testament as an authentic source of information for his examination of the trial. He provides a legal argument for the credibility of the gospel writers and examines the legal legitimacy of using their witness in understanding the events that occurred. He examines in detail, Hebrew criminal law and constructs a legal brief. The second volume deals with the Roman trial.

In Jesus on Trial, New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive enquiry—including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels—and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.

Provides a captivating look at the injustices of Christ's trial from a lawyer's point of view, illustrating that the trials were set in the wrong place, at the wrong time, by the wrong people, with the wrong witnesses.
