‘Rarely have we been provided such an open look into the character issues related to the judges and their decision-making processes that led to the crucifixion of Jesus. John Gilmore has presented a fascinating story of the moral failings of Annas, Caiaphas, Pilate, and Herod. The book is worthwhile for the historical information alone, but the power of the book is found in the personal reflection that is certain to happen. This is an important book that should be widely read'.

'Dr. Gilmore is not content simply to detail the legal maneuverings. He seeks to pierce through the layers of litigious wrappings to find the core motivations of those who 'tried' Christ. It warms this lawyer's heart that with Gilmore's careful exposition, Christ's trials, bad ones at that, prove a rich source of exhortation.'
