Resurrection on Trial: A Judicial Inquiry into the Christian Claim of the Resurrection of Jesus

What if history's most consequential claim were reviewed using the analytical framework employed by the U.S. Supreme Court?

For centuries, the Resurrection of Jesus has been accepted by some as an article of faith and dismissed by others as legend. But what if the case were reviewed as an appellate record, carefully examining the historical evidence, testing competing explanations, and determining whether the conclusion is supported by the record?

In Resurrection on Trial, veteran trial attorney, former nuclear submarine officer, and law professor Peter Dominic Martino applies the disciplined principles of appellate review to Christianity's central claim. Rather than asking readers to begin with faith, he invites them to begin with the evidence.

The issue is not whether the Resurrection is inspiring.

The issue is whether the historical record supports it.

Whether you're a Christian, an atheist, an agnostic, or simply someone committed to following the evidence wherever it leads, Resurrection on Trial invites you to examine the record and reach your own conclusion.

The evidence deserves a second look.
