Title: The Sanhedrin verdict
Description: A brief view from a practicing Illinois lawyer of the possible defenses that could be used if the trial of Jesus were to occur today in our courts.  Only two are tenable: insanity or the supernatural character of the accused.
This leads to an int'g discussion of virgin birth, reliability of the four gospel accounts if adduced in our court system, the Arian argument as to deity, and an int'g view of the traditional Jewish definition of blasphemy as applicable to Jesus' statement before the High Priest and the Sanhedrin.  As well, quotes from a father of American jurisprudence, Harvard professor Simon Greenleaf offer salient support for Linton's thesis.
A hard-hitting book on a universally appreciated subject, the unprecedented claims of a man to be deity.
