Opis

The Jesus Trial is the story of the arrest of Jesus of Nazareth and his subsequent trial in the Roman Court of Pontius Pilate. The story imagines how Jesus' destiny may have changed had he been given the chance to have a modern-day trial. Joseph of Arimathea becomes his defense counsel and the Jewish High Priest Caiaphas is the lead prosecutor. During the depositions, Joseph begins to wonder what in the world he has gotten himself into. Witnesses for the defense speak of the immaculate conception, miracles, the Magi, raising the dead and Jesus being the Son of God. What will the jury think of all this crazy talk? Joseph struggles with how he will be able to provide the best defense for his client when he finds these stories impossible to believe himself. But as Joseph spends more time with Jesus, something begins to change within him. In the end Joseph understands what the Truth is and that the Truth is the only defense he can present.
