Testimony of the Evangelist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
''Testimony of the Evangelist Examined by the Rules of Evidence Administered in Courts of Justice'' or simply Testimony of the Evangelist is an 1846 Christian apologetic work by Simon Greenleaf, a principal founder of the Harvard Law School. His "A Treatise on the Law of Evidence (15 vols., 1842-1853)" forms the basis for his study of the gospels. This legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection happened.
Testimony of the Evangelist is often cited by contemporary Christian apologists. Simon Greenleaf also published A Full Collection of Cases Overruled, Denied, Doubted, or Limited in their Application, taken from American and English Reports (1821), and Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence administered in the Courts of Justice, with an account of the Trial of Jesus (1846; London, 1847). He revised for the American courts William Cruise's Digest of Laws respecting Real Property (3 vols., 1849-1850).
