The Trial Of The Witnesses Of The Resurrection Of Jesus (1765)

By Thomas Woolston

Book Overview

The Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus is a book written by Thomas Woolston in 1765. The book is a critique of the New Testament and challenges the validity of the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus. Woolston argues that the accounts are inconsistent and contradictory, and that the witnesses were not reliable. He suggests that the resurrection was a myth created by the early Christian church to gain followers. The book is written in the form of a trial, with Woolston acting as the prosecutor and the witnesses as the defendants. He questions and cross-examines the witnesses, pointing out inconsistencies and contradictions in their testimonies. The book caused controversy when it was first published, and Woolston was charged with blasphemy and imprisoned. Despite its controversial nature, The Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus remains an important work in the history of biblical criticism and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
