Synopsis
An infamous and enigmatic personality is given a life, a context, and a conscience in Wroe's historical biography: Pontius Pilate, who has defied historians and confounded Christians, all the while serving as perhaps the most important catalyst for the largest of world religions, is vividly resuscitated here. Wroe is an Oxford-educated historian and an editor at The Economist. A New York Times Notable Book for 2000.

Publisher's Note
Reconstructed from classical sources, the man whom the gospels report stood trial over Jesus is revealed as a fairly average Roman administrator mythologized by two thousand years of Christian history.

Industry reviews
"The book is a dazzling kaleidoscope that refracts the various pictures and combines them in unusual ways....By not forcefully or explicitly carving a Pilate of her own, Wroe offers us a character like Woody Allen's Zelig, a figure who has no core, only different miens. Of course, that in itself is a portrait. It is a picture of a man who is important because others have found him important, who is fascinating because he has fascinated. Inadvertently involved in great events, he was rendered less ordinary only because he caught the reflected brilliance of the figure he sentenced to die."
Karabell 

"Insofar as Wroe leads her reader to deduce such a peculiarly sympathetic, though simultaneously brutal and commonplace, figure from the range of evidence she offers, she has accomplished a highly readable and finally valuable study....Wroe's large fund of knowledge and her beautiful ability to wed a carefully collected fact with a credible and illuminating speculation is plainly superior to the skills of all her prior sources...."
Price 

"[F]or the biographer, Pontius Pilate has got to be one tough nut to crack. Both notorious and virtually unknown, he's both universal symbol and historical cipher. Brilliantly, Ann Wroe proves herself undaunted....[S]he's written an extraordinary book."
Evans 

"[W]e know very little about [Pilate], and the interest of Wroe's profound and beautifully written study is largely that of seeing how different times and places have filled in that tantalizing gap....Wroe's book is a work of real imaginative literature."
Griffin
