"Murder at Golgotha" approaches 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 popular CSI television dramas as inspiration, "Murder at Golgotha" is a direct reaction to Mel Gibson's much-talked-about movie "The Passion of the Christ." Ian Wilson systematically outlines what is known for sure about Jesus' trial and crucifixion, as well as where art and the movies have gone astray. His investigatory methods include eyewitness testimony (that of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), archaeology, and medical and forensic findings, which systematically describe the most famous murder in history.
