Survey of fictional work on Barabbas.

Overview

A quite marginal character in Christian tradition and iconography, Barabbas has taken new life in modern fiction, after the works of Marie Corelli, Michel de Ghelderode and Pär Lagerkvist turned him into a complex and tormented figure. The growing interest in the relation between Jesus and the insurgent movements of his time has also made Barabbas a much more conspicuous presence in contemporary Jesus fictional narratives, where he often plays the role of the recognized leader of the Zealots and is sometimes associate with Judas Iscariot.
