Download or read book The Innocence of Pontius Pilate written by David Lloyd Dusenbury and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospels and ancient historians agree: Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman imperial prefect in Jerusalem. To this day, Christians of all churches confess that Jesus died 'under Pontius Pilate'. But what exactly does that mean? Within decades of Jesus' death, Christians began suggesting that it was the Judaean authorities who had crucified Jesus--a notion later echoed in the Qur'an. In the third century, one philosopher raised the notion that, although Pilate had condemned Jesus, he'd done so justly; this idea survives in one of the main strands of modern New Testament criticism. So what is the truth of the matter? And what is the history of that truth? David Lloyd Dusenbury reveals Pilate's 'innocence' as not only a neglected theological question, but a recurring theme in the history of European political thought. He argues that Jesus' interrogation by Pilate, and Augustine of Hippo's North African sermon on that trial, led to the concept of secularity and the logic of tolerance emerging in early modern Europe. Without the Roman trial of Jesus, and the arguments over Pilate's innocence, the history of empire--from the first century to the twenty-first--would have been radically different.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucius Pontius Pilate was a Roman on the rise, an ambitious nobleman serving with ruthless efficiency as a confidential agent of the Emperor Tiberius Caesar. A respected member of the Roman Senate, Pilate harbored a cruel streak that Tiberius used to strike fear into the Empire's enemies. Pilate was on his way to the peak of Roman society when a disastrous encounter with the loathsome Gaius Caligula, Tiberius' heir, ended with him being disgraced and sent into exile as Prefect to the armpit of the Roman Empire: the province of Judea. In this desert land, where political rebellion and religious fanaticism bloomed like flowers in the spring, Pilate's life became entwined with that of Jesus of Nazareth, the enigmatic leader of a new religious sect. Bullied into sending Jesus to the cross by the local religious leaders, Pilate is tormented with guilt and nightmares, unable to wash away the blood on his hands. But when the death of Tiberius elevates Caligula to the Imperial throne, Pilate may have no choice but to flee for refuge to the disciples of the Man he crucified. But will they accept him?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-renowned classicist presents a groundbreaking biography of the man who sent Jesus of Nazareth to the Cross. The Roman prefect Pontius Pilate has been cloaked in rumor and myth since the first century, but what do we actually know of the man who condemned Jesus of Nazareth to the Cross? In this breakthrough, revisionist biography of one of the Bible’s most controversial figures, Italian classicist Aldo Schiavone explains what might have happened in that brief meeting between the governor and Jesus, and why the Gospels—and history itself—have made Pilate a figure of immense ambiguity. Pontius Pilate lived during a turning point in both religious and Roman history. Though little is known of the his life before the Passion, two first-century intellectuals—Flavius Josephus and Philo of Alexandria—chronicled significant moments in Pilate’s rule in Judaea, which shaped the principal elements that have come to define him. By carefully dissecting the complex politics of the Roman governor’s Jewish critics, Schiavone suggests concerns and sensitivities among the people that may have informed their widely influential claims, especially as the beginnings of Christianity neared. Against this historical backdrop, Schiavone offers a dramatic reexamination of Pilate and Jesus’s moment of contact, indicating what was likely said between them and identifying lines of dialogue in the Gospels that are arguably fictive. Teasing out subtle but significant contradictions in details, Schiavone shows how certain gestures and utterances have had inestimable consequences over the years. What emerges is a humanizing portrait of Pilate that reveals how he reacted in the face of an almost impossible dilemma: on one hand wishing to spare Jesus’s life and on the other hoping to satisfy the Jewish priests who demanded his execution. Simultaneously exploring Jesus’s own thought process, the author reaches a stunning conclusion—one that has never previously been argued—about Pilate’s intuitions regarding Jesus. While we know almost nothing about what came before or after, for a few hours on the eve of the Passover Pilate deliberated over a fate that would spark an entirely new religion and lift up a weary prisoner forever as the Son of God. Groundbreaking in its analysis and evocative in its narrative exposition, Pontius Pilate is an absorbing portrait of a man who has been relegated to the borders of history and legend for over two thousand years.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • “Sublime . . . The definitive study of Pilate.”—The Washington Post Book World “A masterwork . . . one of the most interesting and creative books I’ve read in a very long time.”—Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Obstacle Is the Way “Compelling, eloquent and vivid . . . In a superb blend of scholarship and creativity, Wroe brings this elusive yet pivotal figure to life.”—The Boston Globe One of Esquire’s Best Biographies of All Time • Finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize The foil to Jesus, the defiant antihero of the Easter story, mocking, skeptical Pilate is a historical figure who haunts our imagination. For some he is a saint, for others the embodiment of human weakness, an archetypal politician willing to sacrifice one man for the sake of stability. In this dazzlingly conceived biography, Ann Wroe brings man and myth to life. Working from classical sources, she reconstructs his origins and upbringing, his career in the military and life in Rome, his confrontation with Christ, and his long journey home. We catch glimpses of him pacing the marble floors in Caesarea, sharpening his stylus, getting dressed shortly before sunrise on the day that would seal his place in history. What were the pressures on Pilate that day? What did he really think of Jesus? Pontius Pilate lets us see Christ's trial for the first time, in all its confusion, from the point of view of his executioner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of favour after his disastrous governership of Judaea, Pontius Pilate is recalled to Rome and finds that no one wants to know him. But when the new emperor, Caligula, takes the disgraced governor under his wing, suddenly the whole of Rome is beating a path to Pilate's door. However, Pilate quickly discovers that Caligula's friendship comes at a perilous price. What's more, his past is beginning to catch up with him. Pursued by the fanatical followers of Simon Magus and a murderous heretical sect called the Angelics, Pilate must find a way to confound his enemies and at the same time thwart the ambitions of Caligula without incurring the Emperor's wrath. Written by a Professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick, England, this novel brings to life one of ancient Rome's most infamous characters.

This book was released on 1998-11-19 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reconstructs the historical Pontius Pilate and looks at the way in which he is used as a literary character in the works of six first century authors: Philo, Josephus and the four evangelists. The first chapter provides an introduction to the history and formation of the imperial Roman province of Judaea. The following two chapters examine the references to Pilate in Philo and Josephus, looking at each author's biases before going on to assess the historicity of their accounts. The next four chapters look at the portrayal of Pilate in each gospel, asking how a first century reader would have interpreted his actions. Each chapter asks what this portrayal shows about the author's attitude towards the Roman state, and what kind of community found this useful. The conclusion distinguishes between the 'historical Pilate' and the different 'Pilate of interpretation' preserved in our first century literary sources.

Download or read book Pilate written by Ann Wroe and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1999 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The facts about Pontius Pilate are very few. We don't know when he was born or when he died. We know nothing of his career before he became Govenor of Judea, and nothing of what happened to him after he was recalled by Tiberius. Some say he came from Rome, others from Spain or Germany. Everyone - from the evangelists to the writers of the medieval mystery plays - has his own Pilate, each symbolic of something, each a projection of his own ideas and anxieties. This extraordinary book is all about our Pilates, real, half-real and invented. Some are familiar, some surprising. They have depths and contrasts that are unexpected. They do remarkable things. Among these surprises, perhaps, are the glimpses we get of a man actually walking on a marble floor in Caesarea, feeling his shoes pinch, clicking his fingers for a slave, while the clouds of lasting infamy gather over his head."

Book excerpt: Pilate, upon looking into the shop, saw an elderly woman and a pretty little child. Giving the girl a small golden piece, he accosted the woman and asked if he might take a little rest. The shopkeeper upon entering and beholding Pilate, cried out in alarm, "Pilate! Pilate!" This terrified the woman and child, who, leaving their work, fled to the back yard, pronouncing this awful name, which was mixed with bloodshed and terror. Pilate was much surprised and bewildered to learn how soon on his arrival his name became known in the city.-from The Confession of Pontius PilateThis apocryphal companion to the books of the Bible is as intriguing as it is mysterious. Relating the tale of Pontius Pilate's exile to the city of Vienne, in Roman Gaul, and the last days of his life, before grief and remorse at his execution of Jesus drove him to suicide, it was allegedly composed in Latin by Fabricius Albinus, the childhood friend of Pilate with whom he sought refuge. Was Albinus's document unearthed in the 18th century, translated to Arabic and then into English, supposedly by Beshara Shehadi in 1893? Or are the document and the story it tells entirely invented? Read it and decide for yourself.

This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Discusses how Pilate may have become the prefect of Judaea *Includes historical and Biblical accounts of Pilate's prefecture before the passion of Christ. *Explains the different historical depictions of Pilate and his involvement in the trial and execution of Jesus. *Includes pictures. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "I find no guilt in him." - Pontius Pilate, according to the Gospel of John A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Bible series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of the Bible's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. The name Pontius Pilate is instantly familiar to anyone who has read the Bible or has heard of the passion of Christ, but the man himself has mostly eluded Biblical scholars and historians. As the Roman prefect in Judaea during Christ's life and death, Pilate played a central role in the ultimate crucifixion of Jesus, but he is best remembered for literally washing his hands as a symbol that he did not consider the blood to be on his hands. Aside from being in the middle of one of the Bible's most important dramas, mystery surrounds Pilate, and as a result he has been portrayed in a number of different and contradictory ways. Pilate has been viewed as an ineffective and weak ruler by some, an iron-fisted ruler by others, and a completely oblivious one by still others. Other than being mentioned in the Gospels, a few other works in the non-canonical texts that comprise the apocrypha, and the works of a few ancient Roman historians, Pilate the figure has mostly been lost to history, even as his name has remained universally known. Legends of the Bible: The Life and Legacy of Pontius Pilate discusses the facts, myths, and legends surrounding the life of Pilate, examining the Bible and historical record to piece together his life and legacy in an attempt to separate fact from fiction. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about Pontius Pilate like you never have before, in no time at all.

Download or read book The Apostles and Pontius Pilate, written by Boris Romanov and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story about the Apostles, Pontius Pilate and Simon Magus. Great books in the genre of fiction on historical background of the events of evangelical times appear very rarely. We can recall just only "Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, "Silver Bowl" by Thomas Costain, "Barabbas" by M. Corelli, "Judas" by T. Gedberg or the "Commission for the cause of Christ" by A. Mandino. "The Story of the Apostles ..." can be attributed to this sort of fiction - I can say this without false modesty: ) This book is a fascinating set out of the canonical Book of the New Testament "The Acts of the Apostles," - in the expanded by me version of those events of evangelical times. Let us recall that the canonical book of the New Testament, "The Acts of the Apostles" (lat. Actus Apostolorum or Acta Apostolorum) tells about the events that took place immediately after the events of the Gospel. Traditionally it is believed that its author was Luke the Evangelist (author of the third Gospel too). Acts begins with a description of the Ascension (by which ends the Gospel of Luke). "The Acts of the Apostles" is the only book of the New Testament, which has the character of historical chronicles. Among the other New Testament books, it stands also as an unusually wide geography of the action - from Jerusalem up to Rome, and with a large number of persons, many of whom certainly are historical persons and are mentioned in other historical sources. "The Story about the Apostles, Pontius Pilate and Simon Magus" - the story about the same events on behalf of the young Roman Remy Otton, who by chance has witnessed and participated in many events of that time in Jerusalem. If canonical "Acts of the Apostles" occupy a volume of about 40 pages, in the "The Story of the Apostles ..." almost 200 pages (180 in eBook format on Amazon.com). All events of "Acts of the Apostles" are set out in my book in much more detail, and, as expected in fiction, with fascinating detective story, which at the same time, I believe, does not contradict to the book of the New Testament - and at the same time it is making more understandable some mysterious pages of this canonical book of St. Luke. Many pages of my book are devoted not only to the Christian issues, but also to Zoroastrianism, the Essenes, and, in part, to Buddhism. The plot of the book is also associated with the "special service" of Pontius Pilate in Judea; one of the protagonists throughout the story - an officer of the secret service of Aphranius (the same, who was described in "Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov). At first (in 1999), my book "The Story about the Apostles, Pontius Pilate, and Simon Magus," was published by the publishing house "Art of St. Petersburg," a small circulation, and since then has not been republished. The book, I think may be of interest to anyone interested in Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Judaism, as well as for all fans of the adventure genre *** The English edition had been divided by me into two parts for the convenience of readers. The first part of the book (Part I. Jerusalem. The Apostles and Pontius Pilate) describes the events in Jerusalem, from the Ascension of Jesus Christ (on the fortieth day after His Resurrection), and till the spring of next year. The second part (Part II. Samaria. The Apostles and Simon Magus) describes events in Samaria, including those related to Simon Magus. I apologize in advance for my very imperfect English. You can find on Amazon also the complete edition of this book in Russian under the title The Story of the Apostles, Pontius Pilate, and Simon Magus): (in Russian) (in one volume).
