How on earth could the governor of a rather small Roman province obtain a prominent position in the Christian creed? Who was this Pontius Pilate, now inscribed in the cultural memory of Christianity? He was not only a Roman official in the administrative apparatus of the Roman Empire responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus, but his name is also inseparably bound to Jesus' death, which for Christians is the eschatological event of the world's salvation. Is Pilate a hangman and a saint at the same time? The New Testament presents him as a multifaceted personality. This book elaborates various aspects of Pilate's characterization both as a historical figure and with regard to his place in a Christian reading of the Jesus story. It seeks to demonstrate in which way the memory of Pilate contributes to a grounded understanding of the Christian faith.
