Pontius Pilate / Ann Wroe 412 p.


One of my all-time favorites, this is a fascinating examination of the great equivocator as he is depicted in scripture, historical documents, and medieval myths and Passion plays.  Wroe re-visits the story of Procula, Pilate's wife, who has a frightening dream foretelling PIlate's doom if he sentences Jesus to be crucified.  An amazing work of research, and very readable.
