Chandler is a legal examination written in the early 20th century. This work approaches the historical trial of Jesus Christ, specifically focusing on the Hebrew trial held before the Great Sanhedrin. Chandler aims to analyze the facts and legal aspects of this trial using principles from both Hebrew criminal law and modern legal standards, distinguishing between ecclesiastical and civil implications. The opening of this volume establishes the foundation for a meticulous legal analysis of the trial of Jesus. Chandler emphasizes that the prosecution against Jesus was conducted through both Hebrew and Roman legal systems, detailing the sequence of events leading to His arrest and subsequent trials. He introduces critical questions regarding the authenticity of the Gospel narratives, the credibility of the witnesses, and the legal integrity of the trial proceedings based on the laws of the time. By applying legal frameworks to historical events, Chandler sets the stage for a thorough examination of the trial's validity, challenging readers to consider the interplay between law, history, and faith.
