The specific issues the arrest warrant proceeding will
address are:
1) Has Jesus exercised responsible leadership? Have his
actions supported the established political, social,
economic, and religious order? Or have they threatened this
order?
2) If Jesus supported the status quo, how are his actions
justified? Are there occasions when populist, resistance
leaders must support the status quo? What justifies their
support?
3) If Jesus threatens the status quo, how are his actions
justified? Are there occasions when populist leaders must
resist and oppose the status quo? What justifies this
resistance?
4) What is Jesus mission? How should this mission be defined?
How should this mission be carried out? Has Jesus
responsibly carried out this mission? Should his mission
threaten or support the established political, social,
economic, and religious order? Does Jesus understand his
mission? Does Jesus understand what is expected of him by
God, by the people, by his disciples, and by his opponents?
How has he met or failed to meet these expectations?

understand the needs of the people? Is Jesus responsive to
those needs? Has he faithfully represented and presented

to establish a stable and prosperous political, social,
economic, and religious order? If he is allowed to continue
his ministry, will he be able to establish this order? Has
he been able to lead the people to embrace a life which is
faithful to the covenant expectations involving
responsiveness to God and responsibility to other people?
