Professor Peter Martino recently presented his newly published book, Resurrection on Trial, during the STU College of Law faculty colloquium. The presentation coincided with the book’s publication on September 15.

Resurrection on Trial examines whether the historical evidence surrounding the events following the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth is best explained by the Christian claim of the Resurrection or by competing naturalistic explanations.

Written in the form of an appellate judicial opinion, the book approaches the question through a legal framework, complete with findings of fact, competing explanations, adverse authority, a holding, and a dissent. Professor Martino evaluates the historical evidence and competing explanations by asking a question particularly suited to the legal profession: What judgment does the evidence actually support?

STU College of Law and Florida Atlantic University announced the launch of a new 3+3 accelerated J.D. agreement, creating a pathway for eligible FAU students to begin their legal education at STU Law while completing their undergraduate studies.

FAU President Adam Hasner joined STU Law Dean of Academic Affairs Jeffrey Veitch and Senior Vice President of Enrollment Dionne Veitch to mark the launch of the new agreement.

As part of the visit, Dean Veitch also met with FAU pre-law students to discuss the accelerated J.D. pathway and the opportunities available through STU College of Law. Joseph Murray, FAU Associate Dean of University Advising Services, also joined STU leadership during the visit.
