Publisher's summary

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.

Renewed faith

I was very skeptical about reading this book but I am glad I did. Things that I knew to be true but had no proof were confirmed here. God is yet speaking and through this audio book, He speaks loud and clear.

Only half as persuasive as I wanted it to be

I was looking forward to a conclusive slam-dunk logical argument from a man who should know logical proofs best: a lawyer. While many of the author's arguments were new to me, and were persuasive; many others depended upon assumptions about the nature of God and his motivations, which of the author seems to accept as universally accepted proven fact. Despite those hollow arguments, the book is a worthwhile listen, although it did not hold my attention until about the ninth chapter. Perhaps a second listen later on will prove more enlightening. I am still hopeful.

More theology than apologetics.

This was not quite what I expected. I was expecting more of a focus on apologetics than on theology, but I was still very impressed with the book. Several concepts within Christianity, including some difficult ones, were explained in ways that I had not heard before in all of my 30 years as a Believer. This would be a great primer for a new believer or for someone just investigating what Christians believe. I was surprised at how helpful this book was and am glad I listened to it.

Beautiful heartfelt

David Limbaugh has throughly researched the evidence for belief in God, and Christ. The documentation is compelling. His humble wish or prayer the me, us the reader or listener give God a chance to work in us has brought me to tears. Thank you.
Walter Dixon is inspired and wonderful to listen to.

Jesus on Trial

David Limbaugh wrote a clear and understandable story of the truth of God's Word. His approach is very compelling I believe for the most skeptical person. I would highly recommend it and especially for college bound students.
