Pontius Pilate, by Ann Wroe, is beautifully written,

imaginatively researched, and intricately structured. Most

importantly, it provides readers with a valuable emotional

experience: a chance to rediscover and redeem Pilate's famous

question--"What is truth?"--in a spirit of humility and hope. A

handful of small coins and one inscribed stone are the only

physical evidence that Pilate existed. All of the textual sources

that mention Pilate, Wroe notes, are "so wrapped in propaganda or

agendas that it is difficult to detect what, if anything, may be

true." But since Pilate "stands at the center of the Christian

story and God's plan of redemption," Wroe persevered in her efforts

to discern the profile of his life. "Without his climactic judgment

of Jesus, the world would not have been saved. To have a faceless

bureaucrat at the heart of all this drama was unacceptable:

something had to be made of this man." The book's bold ambition,

however, is not blind. "This is not a search for the 'real'

Pilate," Wroe admits. "At best, all we have are glints and

hypotheses." To learn about her subject, Wroe had to sacrifice most

of her sympathetic impulses and shift her concentration to the

elements of Roman life that she did not understand. And oddly

enough, the passages in which Wroe describes her ignorance most

clearly are where we begin to glimpse "a man actually walking on a

marble floor in Caesarea, feeling his shoes pinch, clicking his

fingers for a slave, while clouds of lasting infamy gather

overhead." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable

edition of this title.
