THE TRIAL OF JESUS
Very little is known historically about the trial and crucifixion of Jesus-one of the seminal events of human history. Through literary detective work, art historical imagery and commentary from the world's most respected biblical scholars this documentary reconstructs First-Century Judea and the "scene of the crime" to shed new light on his trial and execution.

THE TRIAL OF JESUS explores such questions as, what did Jesus do that resulted in his arrest and conviction? Who was responsible for it? How did the story of his execution get reported and passed down through the ages? Why do many Biblical historians have reservations about the accuracy of the gospel stories as we know them today?
