The CROSS EXAMINATION of JESUS CHRIST, by Randy Singer

What would a court room look like if it were Jesus Christ on trial? It may not have been a court room but he was constantly being cross examined by Sanhedrin along with the Pharisees and Seduces. This is the story of the three years of Jesus’ ministries and how he was constantly badgered for claiming to be on equal footing with God the father. At every turn Jesus had an answer for their accusations. It is clear that Jesus was more concerned with a persons spiritual wellness than their physical wellness. On all accounts Jesus would show that he could forgive their sin and the only way to the father was thru him and as always people wanted a sign or a miracle to prove it, Jesus would show a sign or a miracle by healing some one proving he was on equal footing with God. Another huge difference between Jesus and the rest is that Jesus was all about grace while all others were more interested in the letter of the law, and they tried many times to trap Jesus in that law and he always eluded their trap. Another topic of the book “is the Bible really a trust worthy document”? Randy Singer goes into great detail about other documents that have a greater gap between the time the event happened and the time it was written down and the world has excepted that as accurate so what’s with the Bible? We learn about a few atheist that when started reading the Bible they started to realize that maybe their was some validity to this. Over all it was a great book and it was easy to read, I have read the other book that Singer wrote called “The Cross examination of Oliver Finny” and it was not even close to the same. It boils down to this “The Cross is the real story. The world may chose to glorify sin, but those of us in Christ have something far more interesting to talk about” (Randy Singer). This would be a great book for some one new in the faith or some one thats been a follower of Christ for years, its a great book for all.
