SynopsisThe true story of how and why the crucifixion took place, from the perspective of the Roman politician who changed history In a world full of DVD extras, behind-the-scenes commentary, and social media, people are used to getting the story behind the story. Readers want to understand not just what happened but why. This historical novel of the man who washed his hands of the crucifixion does just that Award-winning historian and best-selling author Paul L. Maier has created a compelling style of documentary fiction. He uses what is historically known of Pilate's life and rise to power, adds in the known political climate of first-century Judea, and unveils the colorful, untold story that changed history for all time. 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 the all-powerful Tiberius Caesar, the plottings 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., The true story of how and why the crucifixion took place, from the perspective of the Roman politician who changed history In a world full of DVD extras, behind-the-scenes commentary, and social media, people are used to getting the story behind the story.

We All Have Dirty Hands
Greatest Novel I've ever read. 10/10!! If they ever make a movie out of it, I'd be one of the first to watch it. It has Drama, Romance, Action, Suspense, History...I recommend it 100%. It's perfect to read it anytime of the year. Now...this maybe fiction, but if we were to put ourselves in this character's position, I think it's pretty safe to say that all of us would've done the same.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
