Award-winning historian and bestselling author Paul L. Maier has created a compelling style of documentary fiction. He uses what is historically known of Pilate’s life, adds in the known political climate of first-century Judea, and unveils the colorful, untold story that changed history. He provides intriguing answers to questions such as:

• What really happened at that most famous of trials?

• Were the proceedings against Jesus legal?

• Did cowardice or necessity motivate Pilate’s judgment?

• What became of this successful Roman politician after his verdict?

Filling in the details of Pilate’s early career in Rome, Maier captures the drama of imperial Rome under Tiberius Caesar, the plotting of his political allies and enemies, and his relationship with his beloved but ambitious wife, Procula. His great moment arrives as he exchanges the intrigues of Rome for the bewildering environment of Judea, navigating new and dangerous waters. In Pontius Pilate, Maier paints a picture for modern readers to help them understand the behind-the-scenes complexities, political and religious realities, and ultimately, the humanity of the people we know from Scripture.
