Ancient Legal Record found Confirming Christianity?Join me this evening (Thursday, January 11) as we take a fascinating journey back through the legal history of the Roman Empire to the first century imperial court. We will look at the evidence from the book of Acts that leads some to conclude that this book, & its prequel, the gospel of Luke, were written as the legal documents defending the apostle Paul in his trial against the charges of the Jewish Sanhedrin before the emperial court of Emperor Nero. We will cover a number of fascinating historical issues, including the political & religious intrigues of first century Judaism just before the Jewish Revolt (AD 66-73) that reached its apex with the Roman destruction of the Second Temple & the expulsion of the Jews from Jerusalem. We will also survey the Roman legal system, including how one qualified to appeal before the imperial court & what that appeal would have looked like. Then we will look at the legal signatures that abound in Acts. We will derive from that the charges that were likely lodged against Paul by the Sanhedrin, & why Paul chose to appeal his case to Caesar. Some of this material is contained in John Mauck's Paul on Trial. This is also a preview to the content of this coming spring's seminary class on the Book of Acts that I will be teaching in Southern California for Faith Seminary beginning in February. (Find out more about this from the Answers In Action web site.) If you have questions about first century history, Second Temple Judaism, the book of Acts, or the apostle Paul, feel free to submit them here in a comment. If you are in Southern California, please feel free to join us this evening for our live discussion. Details are available on our calendar page for January 11, 2007. Hope to see you there!
