| Summary |
"The only historic figure outside the early Christian tradition to whom the Gospels ascribe a dialogue with Jesus is the first-century Roman prefect Pontius Pilate. Presiding over the trial and execution of Jesus, Pilate is a figure who has straddled the border between history and legend for over two thousand years. Yet what do we actually know of him? Now, renowned classical historian Aldo Schiavone answers those questions and presents a comprehensive, revisionist biography of Pilate that meticulously reconstructs the social, religious, and political context in which his fateful encounter with Jesus took place." -- Provided by publisher. |
