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 history
and legend for over two thousand years. Now, Aldo Schiavone
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.
Drawing on a wealth of original research, Schiavone weaves together
the sources, from epigraphs to the Gospels, from Josephus to
Tacitus and Philon, to create a portrait that approaches its
subject as if for the first time, without any other intent than to
try to explain what happened.
