THE TRIAL OF JESUS by Max Radin (Gryphon, Quarter Leather, New / Sealed)

Description: THE TRIAL OF JESUS by Max Radin (2004 Gryphon, Quarter Leather, New / Sealed) Probably no trial in history has been the subject of as many books - not to mention films - as that of Jesus of Nazareth. THE TRIAL OF JESUS OF NAZARETH by Max Radin (1880-1950) is well summed up by the Times Literary Supplement: "Professor Radin writes only as a lawyer. He is, it is true, a scholar, and that fact is displayed incidentally in his very lucid prose and in his occasional and apt references to classical and theological learning." Renowned for its impeccable legal reasoning and lucid prose, this compelling study is based on a close reading of the four gospels. It reconstructs the accounts of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and examines their discrepancies. The final two chapters put these accounts into the context of Jerusalem's legal and political environment. Radin's goal is to reconstruct one of the most significant events in history, which he does with remarkable skill. Max Radin, "a remarkable legal theorist," taught international, Roman, and comparative law at Boalt Hall, the University of California at Berkely, for thirty years. His book on the trial of Jesus was well received but not uncontroversial when it appeared in 1931, and it has retained its stature over time. It is a compelling study of one of history's most notable trials.
