Killing Christ: Contesting Trendy Critics Regarding The Death and
Resurrection of Jesus by Mike Robinson
An extraordinary conspiracy of
injustice, cruelty, as well as religious and political interests sentenced an
innocent man to the cruelest method of execution ever developed. Yet, the
target was no mere victim, He was the Redeemer. Jesus as God and man came to
die in the place of humanity. The Bible, Talmud, Mishnah, and Roman historians
reveal that the Son of God was illegally arrested, tried, and executed.
How did such a thing come to be? Who
were the spectators, the authorities, frauds, and scoundrels? Why was Christ’s
arrest illegal under Hebrew law? What was it like at Gethsemane during the
arrest, or in the chambers of the chief priest as the interrogations of Jesus
took place? What can an apologetics approach, using Hebraic sources, tell us
about the meaning of the last words Jesus uttered on the cross? With the
massive amount of evidence for the resurrection of Christ, why can we go beyond
probability to full certainty that Christ is risen? Killing Christ: Contesting Trendy Critics Regarding The Death and
Resurrection of Jesus will answer those questions in a way that will keep
the pages turning.
In Killing Christ, Robinson invites you to
experience the most stunning injustice in the history of civil law, conjoined
to the supreme triumph of the power of God, and the redemption provided by the
death of Christ. The author provides a chronological examination that includes
a detailed look at everything from rabbinical law to Roman justice to Christ's
courtroom declarations of His divinity. This new
volume furnishes a readable examination and analysis of the indictments,
preliminary proceedings, trials, and execution of Jesus—great for apologetics
and the defense of the faith.
Killing Christ reveals the truth about:
- The Arrest of Jesus Christ
- The Various Trials of Christ: An Apologetic Approach
- The Errors of the Trendy Critics (Bill O’Reilly, Reza Aslan, Bart Ehrman, etc.)
- The First Good Friday and Its Redemptive Provision
- The Ancient Rabbinic, Roman, and Non-biblical Historical Accounts
- The Proof of the Resurrection of Christ: The Facts within an Assured Rational Framework
- Who Really Killed Jesus?
- The Evidence of The Historicity of Christ’s Life, Death, and Resurrection
With all the
skeptical assaults on the meaning of the death, life, and resurrection of
Christ, this innovative volume is a must for
every Christian, minister, and apologist—it will be a book that you will give
away many times to friends. This is so because it is serious (it contains
informed analysis of relevant biblical truths), rational (it is well-argued),
potent (it holds the reader's attention through gripping illustrations), and
spiritual (it will set you ablaze for God).
The
publication of Killing Christ is
indeed an event. What is intended here is an account of the arrest, trials,
death, and resurrection of Christ which does justice to the full sweep of
biblical testimony and the ancient historical sources (the Talmud, Mishnah,
Targums, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Roman archives). What is accomplished is
something on the order of a vigorous defense of Christian truth—an
appropriation of the data, evidence, and facts within a synthesis of the
foundational necessity of Christian theism.
Killing Christ is a valuable
resource for students of the gospels, and a highly stimulating volume for all
interested in Christian truth. The section on the harmony of the Gospel
accounts, regarding the trials and crucifixion, alone makes this a valuable
tool for apologetics. It will be hard to come away from this book without a
feeling of having been enriched and challenged. This is a book that will be
formative for average Christians and scholars as well as students and
pastors—the author is clear, accessible and passionate.
