Pontius Pilate

The startling yet untold story of the ambitious and successful Roman politician whose fateful verdict forever changes the course of history -- but whose conscience can never rest with the consequences.

Paul L. Maier brings to life the Roman governor of Judea as he rises from the political intrigues of imperial Rome and survives the treacherous plotting of Herod and Antipas. Behind him stands Procula, a wife who fires his ambition for political advancement. Before him stands a bewildered clash of Jewish leaders, national extremists and religious zealots.

"Unique in a Biblical novel...raises the genre of historical novel to a plateau it has rarely reached." -The Chicago Daily News.
