"Intriguing and thought-provoking,Murder at Golgotha amounts to a latter-dayCold Case episode on a centuries-old event that has changed the lives of millions throughout the world." ---Booklist "The most definitive recent study of the historical relic." ---The Dallas Morning NewsonThe Shroud of Turin "Wilson's outstanding study must surely be the most complete yet undertaken of the subject." ---Washington Post onThe Shroud of Turin "If you want a beautifully illustrated account of the sort of evidence that can be got from papyri, textual criticism, archaeology, and grammar concerning the founder of Christianity, you will find it in Wilson." ---The SpectatoronJesus: The Evidence Murder at Golgothaapproaches Jesus' crucifixion from the perspective of a crime scene investigator: What do we know is fact? What can be historically documented? What can we deduce may have happened? Taking the popularCSI television dramas as inspiration,Murder at Golgothais a direct reaction to Mel Gibson's much talked about movieThe Passion of the Christ. Ian Wilson carefully assesses what can be known about Jesus' trial and crucifixion, as well as where art and the movies have gone astray in depicting them. He systemically deploys eyewitness testimony (that embodied in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), archaeology, history, and medical and forensic findings to unravel the truth surrounding the most famous murder in history. Ian Wilson is a historian and writer whose many books includeThe Shroud of Turin, Jesus: The Evidence,Shakespeare: The Evidence,andThe Blood and the Shroud. He lives with his wife, Judith Wilson, in Queensland, Australia.
