I think this is a reference to a collection of essays and speeches by C. S. Lewis called "God In the Dock". The wikipedia article says:
"Its title implies "God on Trial"[1] and is based on an analogy made by Lewis suggesting that modern human beings, rather than seeing themselves as standing before God in judgment, prefer to place God on trial while acting as his judge."
I have read many of Lewis's works but only even heard of this one a few days ago. I wouldn't have made the connection except for a comment on February 1878 where someone thought the Elephant might represent God.
