The author became interested in the study of the trial of Christ early in his seminary course. He did special and independent research work in connection with the topic during the entire period of his stay in the seminary. Having long felt the need of a treatment of the trial of Christ which would more nearly meet the requirements of the average busy, uncritical, earnest Christian reader, he has attempted to produce such a booklet.
There are many who have a somewhat general idea of the trial of Jesus, but there are few who have a clear idea of the events in their sequence. It is of value to have a concatenated view of this, the most famous and the most vital of all trials in the history of criminal law. The following pages contain, therefore, the story, hour by hour, of this most interesting trial.
This book is brief. None of the scholarly and critical questions are entered upon. The author has sought to present the scene at each point in the trial in such a vivid, accurate and devotional way that the reader will feel as though he were actually witnessing the progress, step by step, of this trial of the Son of God.
While…the work is not designed to be critical, no time nor labor was spared in an effort to make it absolutely accurate as regards the sequence of events mentioned. ~Harold Francis Branch
