Description:
A compelling retelling of the Christ story, as narrated by Pontius Pilate's aide and military adminstrator of Jerusalem, Cornelius by name; a young rabbinical scholar who hears stories; and Judas. Powerful and poignant, this book on its first publication was rejected by readers of both the Christian and Jewish right. Since then, it has been recognised as a classic of interfaith writing.
