This article, Jesus Follow the Socratic Method, is a detailed analysis and comparison of the trials of Socrates and Jesus of Nazareth. An investigation of these men and trials, two of the most famous in Western history, uncovers truths about human nature, the justice systems of these two ancient societies, and the power and danger of the spoken word to a vocal critical thinker in his own society. This article is twenty-two pages long, contains footnotes and follows the Bluebook format.
