The Trial And Crucifixion of Jesus
The Trial and Crucifixion of Jesus is a comprehensive sourcebook for those looking to gain a more robust understanding of this event through the eyes of ancient writers. Featuring extrabiblical primary textsโalong with a new translation and commentary by David W. Chapman and Eckhard J. Schnabelโthis work is relevant for understanding Jesusโ last days.
The significance of Jesusโ death is apparent from the space that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John devote to the Passion narrative, from the emphasis of many speeches in the book of Acts, and from the missionary preaching and the theology of the apostle Paul.
Exegetical discussions of Jesusโ trial and death have employed biblical (Old Testament) and extrabiblical texts in order to understand the events during the Passover of AD 30 that led to Jesusโ ex*****on by crucifixion. The purpose of this book is to publish the primary texts that have been cited in the scholarly literature as relevant for understanding Jesusโ trial and crucifixion.
The texts in the first part deal with Jesusโ trial and interrogation before the Sanhedrin, and the texts in the second part concern Jesusโ trial before Pilate. The texts in part three represent crucifixion as a method of ex*****on in antiquity. For each document, the authors provide the original text (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or Latin), a translation, and commentary. The commentary describes the literary context and the purpose of each document in context before details are clarified, along with observations on the contribution of these texts to understanding Jesusโ trial and crucifixion.
