This study reconstructs the historical Pontius Pilate and looks at
the way in which he is used as a literary character in the works of
six first century authors: Philo, Josephus and the four
evangelists. The first chapter provides an introduction to the
history and formation of the imperial Roman province of Judaea. The
following two chapters examine the references to Pilate in Philo
and Josephus, looking at each author's biases before going on to
assess the historicity of their accounts. The next four chapters
look at the portrayal of Pilate in each gospel, asking how a first
century reader would have interpreted his actions. Each chapter
asks what this portrayal shows about the author's attitude towards
the Roman state, and what kind of community found this useful. The
conclusion distinguishes between the 'historical Pilate' and the
different 'Pilate of interpretation' preserved in our first century
literary sources.
