Written by Mauck & Baker's very own, John Mauck discusses the legal aspects of Jesus’ ministry, which have long been obscured or misunderstood, particularly His interactions with and attitude toward the law and lawyers. Jesus’ desire in His day and ours is to use the law to secure the rights of people to hear the gospel and to set humanity free.
