He desires that we do the same today. Jesus in the Courtroom will open us up to this forgotten truth, covering topics like: How God has used the law to expand His kingdom How we can engage the law strategically How citizenship is part of discipleship How to get involved in matters likeadoption, abortion, foster care, and education We are citizens of two kingdoms, but many of us duck and run when it comes to civil life. For anyone who cares about their community--parents, teachers, pastors, you name it--engagement with our legal system can play a huge role in the health of our communities and in cultivating a gospel-ready context. Read Jesus in the Courtroom to discover how.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought of Jesus as a lawyer? It may sound odd, but at times in His ministry, Jesus wore his lawyer hat. When he defended the adulterous woman, when he argued from Scripture that the disciples were fine to pick grain on the Sabbath, and in other instances, Jesus insightfully applied to uphold justice and promote goodwill. The legal aspects of Jesus’ ministry have long been obscured or misunderstood, particularly his interactions with and attitude toward the law and lawyers. Jesus’ desire in his day and ours is to use the law to secure the rights of people to hear the gospel and to set humanity free. In other words, to be the best citizens we can be, we need to follow in the footsteps of the greatest citizen who ever lived. Jesus in the Courtroom covers topics like: Why we should care about the law Strategic involvement with the law How God has used the law to expand His kingdom What can happen when we partner with legal professionals How citizenship is part of discipleship Christian citizenship in matters like adoption, abortion, minimum wage, foster care, and schools We are citizens of two kingdoms, but many of us duck and run when it comes to civil life. For anyone who cares about their community—parents, teachers, pastors, you name it—engagement with our legal system can play a huge role in the health of our communities and in cultivating a context where the gospel can flourish. Jesus in the Courtroom will help us understand not only why we have failed to appreciate the legal aspect of Jesus’ life, but also to understand and cooperate with his legal ministry to us and through us. If we are going to be faithful “citizen disciples” in this challenging new world, we need to look anew at how Jesus taught, thought, and interacted with the legal establishment of his day.

Book excerpt: In Jesus on Trial, New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive enquiry—including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels—and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the most infamous criminal proceeding in history--the trial of Jesus of Nazareth--have to tell us about capital punishment in the United States? Jesus Christ was a prisoner on death row. If that statement surprises you, consider this fact: of all the roles that Jesus played--preacher, teacher, healer, mentor, friend--none features as prominently in the gospels as this one, a criminal indicted and convicted of a capital offense. Now consider another fact: the arrest, trial, and execution of Jesus bear remarkable similarities to the American criminal justice system, especially in capital cases. From the use of paid informants to the conflicting testimony of witnesses to the denial of clemency, the elements in the story of Jesus' trial mirror the most common components in capital cases today. Finally, consider a question: How might we see capital punishment in this country differently if we realized that the system used to condemn the Son of God to death so closely resembles the system we use in capital cases today? Should the experience of Jesus' trial, conviction, and execution give us pause as we take similar steps to place individuals on death row today? These are the questions posed by this surprising, challenging, and enlightening book

Attorney Earle Wingo approaches the crucifixion like a trial lawyer, showing one after another the ways in which Jesus was illegally tried. Wingo is a good writer, with an emotional and persuasive style. You would want him defending you in court. This book was written many years ago, and we have had a lot of requests for it since Jack Chick has made references to it in his books. Now, with illustrations by Jack Chick added, we are releasing this revised edition to add fascinating detail to your study of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It will give new understanding to your Bible study, and provide you with fascinating details you can share with others if you are a teacher in your church. You will learn: Who the Jewish leaders were, and why they knew exactly what they were doing. How many Jewish laws were broken in order to entrap Jesus. How Jesus was arrested without being charged. That Jewish law forbade nighttime trials, and one-day trials. Why the eventual charge of blasphemy wasn't enough to put Jesus to death. How the charges against Jesus were changed to get the Romans to kill Him.

Anderson has risen to the top of his professionwinning judgments of up to $130 million for his clients and earning national recognition from his peers. Selected by the National Law Journal as one of the Top Ten trial lawyers in the United States, Mr. Anderson is a respected and highly regarded attorney who was president of the California Trial Lawyers Association. Despite the applause and financial success that came his way, one unsolved mystery nagged at Mr. Andersons conscience. In the docket was perhaps his biggest case: Was Jesus Christ who He said He wasthe Creator and God of the Universe who purportedly lived 2,000 years ago in a Roman-occupied territory known as Israel? This time, Mr. Anderson had a jury of one to convincehimself. He embarked on a solo and sober-minded journey, employing techniques honed from decades of legal research and in-the-courtroom experience. During the discovery phase, he investigated claims and prophecies made in the Bible. Then he carefully cross-checked statements made by witnesses to Jesus life on earth for inconsistencies. In a sense, he put the Bible on trial in a resolute attempt to determine once and for all if Jesus Christ was the Son of God and the Savior for all mankind. What follows in this book is the verdict, rendered in laymans language that makes the compelling case that every single claim about Jesus Christ in the Bible was true yesterday, is true today, and will be true tomorrow. If you have questions about the veracity of the Bible of if Jesus ever lived, then Verdict is the book for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Believer’s Handbook for Legislating from the Heavenlies In answer to a prayer for our daughter, I had a dream. In the dream, I found myself in a heavenly Courtroom standing before the Judge of heaven and earth. He explained why my husband and I hadn't received answers to our prayers sooner, and instructed us to pray in a specific way. After following the Courtroom protocol, He revealed to me, our prayers were answered within one week—after seven years of praying in every other way we knew how to pray. As we follow the directions of the Lord, we can be assured of the victory. This doesn’t mean every outcome will be what you expected, but the outcome will be the Lord’s will for each situation. The Judge of heaven and earth is inviting you to appear in His Courtroom. "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted. —Isaiah 43:25-26 As believers, our purpose in the Courtroom of Heaven is to make intercession as an Ambassador of Reconciliation, to stand in the gap on behalf of people, regions, governments, and nations. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. —Hebrews 4:16 With Jesus as our Redeemer, the Word as our Defense, the Holy Spirit as our Counselor, and the Judge as our Father, we can win our case in heaven’s Courtroom for victory on the earth.
