Summary of the Film

God's Courtroom powerfully describes the charge, potential defenses, penalty, witnesses, burden of proof, and most importantly, God's offer of a pardon, to every person. Set in the heart of the Land of Lincoln, drawing on Abraham Lincoln's historic legal career, this presentation was filmed in four historic Illinois courthouses, the Old State Capitol of Illinois, and the Old Franklin County Jail.

As Bruce Kugler, a lawyer for more than 20 years, read and studied the Bible, many legal terms and concepts began to catch his attention. He noticed that the Bible presented God as the Supreme Judge of all humanity and that everyone will one day stand trial in God's Courtroom. He discovered the Bible provides extensive details of this experience which is an inevitable part of every person's future.
