Murder at Golgotha: revisiting the most famous crime scene in history. Ian Wilson. 2006.

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 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 investigative methods include eyewitness testimony (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), archaeology, medical and forensic findings, and history, which systematically describe the most famous murder in history.
