Some two thousand years ago, in a small province of the Roman
Empire, an obscure Roman governor ordered the execution of a
peasant leader. It went virtually unnoticed at the time. No
official report of the event has survived, and we would have no
memory at all of it except for the efforts of a handful of
followers of the condemned man. Those followers who kept that
memory alive changed the course of history, and the results of
their efforts continue to reverberate to this day. Conventional
interpretation says that the execution of Jesus of Nazareth came on
the heels of a series illegal trials before a number of different
tribunals, and at the culmination of that series of trials a moral
coward by the name of Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus' execution
despite being satisfied that he was innocent. Revisionist
interpretation says that there was no trial at all, that Pilate
simply executed Jesus because he was a nuisance, and that Jesus'
followers invented the story of his execution as a means of
shifting the blame from the Roman government to a group of people
whom they despised - the Jews. Are the Gospels good history or bad
propaganda? Does a fair reading of the Gospel accounts support
either the conventional or the revisionist interpretation of the
trial of Jesus? Who, if anyone, should shoulder the blame for the
crucifixion of Jesus? The Case against Christ seeks to answer these
questions by treating the matter as a forensic death investigation
and answering the questions as they might be answered by a
prosecutor attempting to determine who should be held criminally
responsible for the death of Jesus.
