Publisher's summary

Very little is known about Marcus Pontius Pilate, the infamous judge at the trial of Jesus of Nazareth. He was of the upper Roman equestrian class and a soldier who eventually was appointed as Governor of Judea. When Jesus came before him to be tried for sedition, he tried to free him on several occasions. Why? What was his reasoning to release him rather than execute him? What was he afraid of? What happened to him after the trial? This book will present historical facts as recorded from the Apocrypha, Roman archives of the Vatican, historian Josephus, the gospels of the bible, and other sources mixed with some conjecture to show how Pilate became governor of Judea and why he tried to free Jesus. As a historical novel you will learn about the creation of the Roman Empire, how that affected the appointment of Pilate to Judea, the inner workings of the Jewish councils and Roman government, and the reason Pilate tried to free Jesus.

Creative and good storytelling

I think the author balanced the need to be true to historical details with the goal of telling an interesting story very well. I really enjoyed it.

Intriguing story. Excellent historical research.

As a lifetime student of the Bible and lover of history, I found this a great read. There is an excellent weaving of the history of Ancient Rome, the Biblical story of Passion Week and the story of Pontius Pilate. I’ve known of Pilate all my life but now I feel like I actually know him.
