Description: This is a fresh historical and legal examination of one of the most consequential trials in history: the trial and execution of Jesus of Nazareth under Pontius Pilate.

The book addresses enduring questions surrounding Jesus' condemnation, particularly why Pilate ordered his execution despite the Gospel accounts portraying him as uncertain of Jesus' guilt. By examining the trial through the lens of Roman legal history, the author places Jesus' arrest, trial and sentencing within the wider political, social and judicial context of the Roman Middle East. This approach moves beyond a purely theological reading and explores how Roman law, political authority, social expectations and personal motivations may have shaped the decisions of Pilate and other authorities.

Readers are given a historically informed perspective on the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion and encourages deeper reflection on the complex interaction between law, politics, religion and human responsibility.
