Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus

In a lively gathering of London’s legal minds, an impromptu debate erupts over the very foundations of Christian belief. When a recent court case involving the controversial writer Woolston surfaces, the gentlemen of the Inns of Court seize the chance to test the strength of the resurrection’s evidence, treating the ancient miracle as a courtroom matter. Their conversation quickly turns from casual banter to a rigorous examination of scripture, historical testimony, and the standards by which any claim must be judged.

The discussion unfolds like a staged trial, with one advocate passionately defending the Gospel accounts while his counterpart, steeped in legal tradition, challenges every assumption. As the evening progresses, the participants grapple with the limits of law in matters of faith, questioning whether judicial reasoning can ever truly settle such a profound dispute. Listeners are invited into a spirited, 18th‑century salon where reason, rhetoric, and reverence collide.
