Pontius Pilate
This book explores the diverse portraits of Pontius PIlate in the Gospels. Pontius Pilate focuses on reading the Gospels not only as personal religious text but also as narratives shaped by their sociopolitical contexts. It identifies aspects of Roman imperial power that is assumed by each Gospel's presentation of Pilate, the Roman governor. It analyzes each Gospel's critical attitude to the empire and outlines how that Gospel shapes Christian discipleship in a world dominated by Roman power.
Pontius Pilate: Deciphering a Memory
A world-renowned classicist presents a groundbreaking biography of the man who sent Jesus of Nazareth to the Cross. The Roman prefect Pontius Pilate has been cloaked in rumor and myth since the first century, but what do we actually know of the man who condemned Jesus of Nazareth to the Cross? In this breakthrough, revisionist biography of one of the Bible’s most controversial figures, Italian classicist Aldo Schiavone explains what might have happened in that brief meeting between the governor and Jesus, and why the Gospels—and history itself—have made Pilate a figure of immense ambiguity. Pontius Pilate lived during a turning point in both religious and Roman history. Though little i...

They Suffered under Pontius Pilate
Although, according to the Christian Gospels, three men were crucified ca. 30 CE outside Jerusalem under the prefect Pontius Pilate, both popular wisdom and mainstream scholarship focus solely on the fate of a single man. The story is indeed told, once and again, as if only Jesus of Nazareth had been the target of Roman repression, as if only his suffering were worthy of attention, and as if the other men crucified at Golgotha had nothing to do with him. The present book forcefully argues that, from an epistemological and even an ethical perspective, this is an odd and worrying state of affairs: the prevailing approach entails one-sided oversight of significant information, betrays a strong ...
The Innocence of Pontius Pilate
The gospels and ancient historians agree: Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman imperial prefect in Jerusalem. To this day, Christians of all churches confess that Jesus died ‘under Pontius Pilate’. But what exactly does that mean? Within decades of Jesus’ death, Christians began suggesting that it was the Judaean authorities who had crucified Jesus—a notion later echoed in the Qur’an. In the third century, one philosopher raised the notion that, although Pilate had condemned Jesus, he’d done so justly; this idea survives in one of the main strands of modern New Testament criticism. So what is the truth of the matter? And what is the history of that truth? Dav...

Pontius pilatus
Pontius Pilatus - de man die Jezus overgaf om te worden gedood, maar die innerlijk overtuigd was van zijn onschuld. Wie was de man achter deze overbekende feiten uit de evangeliën? In deze historische roman schildert Maier het portret van een ambitieus Romeins gouverneur. Te midden van politieke intriges van het Romeinse Rijk wordt Pontius Pilatus naar voren geschoven om in de provincie Judea de orde te handhaven. Het uitvoeren van zijn keizerlijke opdracht in de praktijk, waarin de joodse leiders grote macht en invloed op het volk blijken te hebben, vereist de nodige tact en moed. De rust in de provincie, maar ook zijn persoonlijke veiligheid zijn geen vanzelfsprekende zaken. Bovendien bli...
