Excerpt from The Crucifixion and the Jews
It had been our intention long ago to publish a full considera tion of the subject before us, when we were induced to do so by a letter from a man who had been trained in general literature, from which we will extract the following passages: I was lately asked in what manner crucifixion was effected among the Jews, and how criminals were executed? Not being versed in the Talmud, and finding no information in the Bible, I was compelled to leave the question unanswered, and would, there fore, request you to communicate to me all that is most worthy of knowing upon the subject, and this, too, through the public press.
The. Question here is limited in its terms merely to-ascertain, How was the death penalty by crucifixion executed among the Jews? We shall take it in a more extended acceptation,-to wit Whether and how far the-jews caused the crucifixion of Jesus? In treating upon the subject we shall proceed as follows: At first, we intend to reply to the question as our friend preposed it to us then, we shall take a survey of the manner in which our question has been answered by others in our time, and, lastly, we shall present and authenticate our own views.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a deep dive into the trial and death of Jesus, an event with an intense legacy in the history of Christianity and its relationship with the Jewish people. The author analyzes the historical record and argues that although Jesus was indeed crucified under the order of Pontius Pilate, the Jews did not cause his condemnation. The author examines the motivations and actions of the Jewish court that tried Jesus and finds that they were acting in accordance with Jewish law. The author questions the credibility of the Gospels as historical records and points to contradictions and improbabilities in their accounts of the trial. The book then explores the historical context of Jesus' life and death and the political and religious tensions of the time. It also examines the development of the Christian narrative around Jesus' trial and death and how it has been used to justify anti-Semitism, culminating in the Holocaust. This book offers a challenging and thought-provoking re-examination of a pivotal historical event and its far-reaching consequences.
