Description

"A masterpiece of constructive work such as appears on great Biblical topics but once in a generation or even a century…..The writer brings together and organizes the vast range of facts involved in the Hebrew Trial of Jesus in a masterly way. The evidences lie on the surface, of his intellectual acumen and grasp, of diligent study and investigation, of wide and thorough knowledge of the subjects involved, and of the possession of that form of the constructive faculty, commonly called historical imagination, that enables him to embody his material in such a way as to reproduce, in its unity and completeness, the Trial itself. The crowning excellence of the work, from the rhetorical side, is that the available facts and materials have been wrought into narrative and argument so clear and convincing as to bring them easily within the reach of all intelligent readers." -The Bible Student and Teacher, Volume 10, 1909 "Mr. Chandler, who is a member of the New York bar and known for his cogent reasoning and oratorical ability, has endeavored to set forth, strictly from a lawyer's standpoint, 'the legal rights of the man Jesus at the bar of human justice under Jewish and Roman laws.' Firm, courageous, and dispassionate, but delicate and reverential handling." -The American Review of Reviews, Volume 38, 1908 "Makes an elaborate effort to demonstrate the illegality of the Hebrew trial…The author of the two volumes on the 'Trial of Jesus' has brought together a large mass of data about criminal law and procedure among the Jews and under the Romans, and has compiled much interesting legal and historical information not conveniently accessible elsewhere…he shows a disposition to investigate historical sources carefully and to review a large volume of evidence impartially." The Green Bag, Volume 21, 1909 "The trial of Jesus is unquestionably, in its influence on the human race, the greatest state trial in history. But its distinctive characteristics as a judicial proceeding have been lost sight of because it has generally been treated either theologically from a theologian's point of view, or dramatically from the orator's or the epic historian's point of view. Here is a book which treats it wholly from the lawyer's point of view - we will not say without prejudice, for it is evident, as one reads the report, that Mr. Chandler's sympathies are unreservedly with the accused; but certainly with freedom from all passion and from all dramatic coloring. The book is nearly as judicial as the four narratives on which it is founded….There have been several recently published monographs on 'The Trial of Jesus.' This is the fullest and most comprehensive with which we are acquainted. The learning is ample and well digested; the style is lucid, the temper judicial, the whole work that of a judge, not of an advocate, strong by reason of its self-restraint." -The Outlook, Volume 90, 1908 "The author has followed a method which is singularly clear and helpful. The style of the whole book is also clear and forceful. Mr. Chandler shows a judicial temperament where nice points need weighing, and he has prepared himself for his task by wide reading….Contains a great amount of illuminating material regarding Jewish law, Roman law and the various personalities related to the trial. The work deserves wide recognition as a reverent, painstaking, comprehensive study of a so-called trial, which is of perpetual interest because of its critical importance." -The Independent, Volume 66, 1909
