Court Case Christianity: Indicting Doctrine, Method and History

Where Court Case Jesus narrows its focus to the gospel narratives, Court Case Christianity zooms out and puts the entire religion on trial. Frans Hansen structures this book as a formal indictment: each chapter functions as a legal count, measuring Christian doctrine and history against the statutes of the Torah. Rather than cherry‑picking verses, the author tests claims about prophecy fulfilment, the “new covenant,” and salvation on the basis of halachic categories.

Hansen exposes how translators and theologians have manipulated the Hebrew Bible to build doctrines. He demonstrates how words change meaning when moved from one language to another and how narrative techniques create the illusion of continuity while introducing entirely new concepts. On each count—from idolatry and false prophecy to misusing sacred time and space—the prosecution cites chapter and verse, inviting readers to judge for themselves whether Christianity has breached the law.

Unlike popular polemics, this indictment does not trade in slogans. It’s a meticulous legal brief. Hansen shows that the supposed “better covenant” promised in the New Testament lacks prophetic warrant and cannot be found in the writings of Moses or the Prophets. If the Torah says that God does nothing without revealing it to His prophets first, where are those revelations? Such questions make this book indispensable for anyone wrestling with the claims of Christianity and its relationship to Judaism.

Readers in the deconstruction movement will recognise the value of this approach: it offers a structured, evidence‑based critique rather than emotional arguments. If you want to understand why so many are re‑examining the roots of their faith, Court Case Christianity provides the legal tools to do so.
