Hour by hour and verse by verse, John Lawrence traces Jesus' journey from the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross of Calvary on the most crucial day in all of history. Each of the six interrogations and legal examinations by Annas, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, Herod, and Pilate are analyzed for both their historical meaning and their spiritual application.

Of the twenty-nine chapters in the four gospels that present the events of the Passover week and crucifixion, thirteen are devoted to the events of the last day. The Six Trials of Jesus provides a riveting guide to the dramatic events of that day and a rich source of insight and inspiration for both lay readers and pastors.
