Corpus Christi - The Trial
Episode 4/12
Synopsis
In the Gospel according to Saint John, the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate seems to want to save Jesus from his torture. Can this attitude be reconciled with the fierce portrait of Pilate painted by Jewish historians of the time? Why did the Evangelists try to exonerate Pilate and accuse the Jews? Can this enable us to definitively date when the texts were written? Or to determine what their theological and ideological issues were?
The Serie : A historical and scientific enquiry into the origins of the New Testament and the life of Jesus Christ involving specialists from all over the world.
