About this publication

The figure of Pontius Pilate introduces a reflection on truth and the exercise of power. The text brings the Gospel account together with historical sources and literary portrayals of the Roman prefect, examining the relationship between political expediency, doubt and personal responsibility.

The encounter between Jesus and Pilate is then explored through the Gospel of John and references to Saint Augustine. The meditation connects truth and justice with questions about the origin and meaning of human life, inviting readers to examine how they listen and choose.
