Synopsis
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.

From the Inside Flap
Pontius Pilate examines the portraits of this Roman governor found in the Gospels. Unlike some discussions of Pilate, this one takes Pilate?s role as governor and representative of Roman imperial power seriously. It views Pilate predominantly as a strong, efficient, and astute governor, not as a weak and indecisive man, pressured into killing Jesus against Pilate?s convictions. The conclusion considers some of the ethical and theological issues the scenes involving Pilate raise for contemporary readers. Chapters are ?Would the Real Pilate Please Stand Up?? ?Reading the Gospel Accounts of Pilate,? ?Governors and the Roman Imperial System,? ?Mark?s Pilate,? ?Matthew?s Pilate,? ?Luke?s Pilate,? and ?John?s Pilate.?? [offers] reflections on ethical and theological issues that the Gospel scenes involving Pilate raise for readers today.? New Testament Abstracts?The book will be especially useful for preachers preparing for Holy Week, and can have a place in college and seminary classes as well as adult Christian education settings.? Interpretation ?The book achieves its aims and reads well . . . is highly serviceable to undergraduates and will be of interest to those engaged in social-scientific criticism of the NT.? Journal of Biblical Literature?We can learn a great deal from reflecting on Pilate?s portrayal and the Gospel?s message to see Jesus as Lord and Savior.? Catholic Library World
