It's been thirty years since he sentenced the troublemaker to die,but Pontius Pilate can't get Jesus out of his mind.Forced to live out his life in exile, Pontius Pilate, the former governor of Judea, is now haunted by the executions that were carried out on his orders. The life and death of a particular carpenter from Nazareth lay heavily on his mind. With years of solitude stretched out before him, Pilate sets out to uncover all he can about Jesus—his birth, boyhood, ministry, and the struggles that led to his crucifixion. With unexpected wit and candor, Pilate reveals a unique, compelling picture of Jesus that only one of his enemies could give.In a vibrant, inventive, completely engaging novel that places Jesus and his teachings in a wonderfully accurate historical setting, James R. Mills has created nothing less than a new gospel that illuminates the beginnings of Christianity from an astonishing and unexpected point of view.

Editorial : From Library Journal Thirty years after the death of Jesus of Nazareth, an exiled Pontius Pilate compiles his memoirs into a history of the Jewish faith and the rise of Christianity. He contemplates his role in sentencing Jesus to death by crucifixion and puzzles at the rapid spread of the teachings of that simple man. A true politician, he denies any blame for his part in Jesus' final hours. Instead, he lays the blame at the feet of the crowd who cried for Barabbas to be released and at the feet of the temple officials who called for his trial. Subtly, Pilate's fascination with Jesus and his teachings gives life to his recital, and glimpses of Pilate's own thoughts and feelings surface. Mills's (Gospel According to Pontius Pilate) expertise with his subject provides unexpected depth to this intriguing glimpse at a man vilified for his place in history.

Interpersonal skills include effective communications and good teamwork. Then he goes beyond that to describe, in his user-friendly way, the complex interrelationship of the individual, organizational, governmental and societal influences in regard to chronic stress. If you didn't know anything about this subject before reading the book your sure to know everything there is to know post reading. His knowledge of Jewish history is remarkable. This is an awful historical novel, one of the worst I've read.
To begin with, Pilate is painted as a modern man, and not a citizen of Rome in the first century C.E. "Revision " is a book I can read almost like a novel and at the same time it teaches me so much about writing and understanding theoretical concepts. This book makes me appreciate the men who made the journey, some of whom are reticent yet they co
