Summary
The Gospel according to John is replete with legal terminology and motifs detailing the run-up to Jesus' crucifixion - yet a formal process in front of the Jewish Sanhedrin is not part of the narrative. Benjamin Lange shows that reading the first half of the book as a metaphorical trial reveals a new perspective on the Gospel and its message. At the centre stands the paradox of Jesus as accused judge.
