David Limbaugh brings his courtroom expertise to bear on Christianity's foundational texts. The practicing attorney and former law professor subjects Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to the same rigorous analysis he would apply to any legal document. Limbaugh interrogates the gospels as potential evidence for the historical Jesus, asking the hard questions that any skilled lawyer would pose. His investigation becomes deeply personal as he traces his own journey from committed skeptic to believing Christian. Through careful examination of both the canonical texts and supporting historical evidence, Limbaugh builds his case methodically. He concludes that the gospels withstand his thorough legal scrutiny, validating the faith that Christians have held for two millennia.
