Memoirs of Pontius Pilate (2000) is a novel by James R. Mills, a revision of The Gospel According to Pontius Pilate (1977 Mills), novel.

Abstract

"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."--Publisher description.
