FREE: Pontius Pilate

The listing, Pontius Pilate has ended.

Paul L. Maier has blended into this historical novel the same happy combination of religious sensitivity & profound historical knowledge that marks his personal & professional life. A professor of history at Western Michigan University, Dr. Maier serves also as a campus chaplain.
This documentary novel resurrects one of the most significant, yet obscure figures from the past-Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, whose judgment on Good Friday forever changed history. The story of a man who publicly washed his hands of the blood of Jesus Christ, this judge who asked, "What is truth?" when it claimed to stand before him in his human form, is presented in rich & fascinating detail. In this book Dr. Paul Maier aims for full historical accuracy & answers the most disturbing & at the same time the most rewarding questions: What really happened at the most famous of all trials? What events in Rome played a major-& hitherto unnoticed role in Pilate's decision? Was his judgment motivated by cowardice, expediency, or necessity? Where did he come from, & what became of him afterward-this man who unknowingly diverted the flow of history into a new channel?
