Pilate - The Biography Of An Invented Man

Medieval mystery plays, a novel by the Russian Mikhail Bulgakov, a sculpture in Westminster Cathedral, Mount Pilatus in Switzerland, United Beach Missions - these are some of the stops on Ann Wroe's dizzying tour through history's portrayal of one of the most intriguing characters in the Bible. Pilate barely steps from the wings onto the stage in the gospel narratives before he returns to the dressing room once more, this time to be clothed in the varied costumes of so many scholars, theologians, writers, artists and poets.
