'In drama, romance, color, scope and depth, this novel is comparable to Ben Hur, The Silver Chalice, and The Robe.' This is The Christian Herald's rousing endorsement of Maier's historical novel about Pontius Pilate as he rises from the political intrigues of imperial Rome and survives the treacherous plots of herod Antipas. Behind him stands his wife, Procula, who fires his ambition for political advancement, but before him roils the bewildering clash of Jewish leaders, national extremists, and religious zealots. 384 pages, softcover from Kregel.
