These letters represent the times of Jesus, with some of the principal events of his life from a new viewpoint - that of the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate.

History has pictured Pilate as in some respects a good governor, anxious to serve his imperial master faithfully, and even in so far as possible to conciliate those who were placed in his care. In these letters Pilate describes the events of his Governorship, his impressions, his policy, his difficulties in dealing with the Jews.

"It seems," writes Pilate, "that all Galilee is agog about Jesus, and everyone knows of someone who has heard of someone else who has been cured of some disease." Pilate argues that Jesus is a popular leader who is politically dangerous, a troublesome fellow that must be gotten out of the way. "And," concludes Pilate, "if he was not a dangerous rebel yesterday, he would have been tomorrow."

In spite of this, Pilate has given us a fine picture of Jesus here, written with restraint and feeling, unconsciously reverent and absorbingly interesting.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2009
The Letters of Pontius Pilate gives an accurate idea of conditions during the life Of Jesus the Christ and a very good idea of the relationship between the Jewish people and the Roman rulers.The differences of opinions and beliefs among the Priests and Sadducees is very detailed and interesting.

When I first saw this book I had to ask, why have I never heard of this before? It should be very famous. When I began reading it, I concluded immediately that it must be a work of fiction. A quick web search confirms that W. P. Crozier was a reporter for the Guardian newspaper in England. This book is identified on the Guardian website as his first "novel," written in 1928.
This is a short story in letter form. It is an account of a self-absorbed, gossipy, impulsive and petty-minded provincial governor--intent on gaining credit for himself and possible advancement in the Roman hierarchy. To him Jesus was simply a minor problem: another of those troublesome people whom a good Roman governor had to dispose of in order to maintain provincial peace. Who knows? That may be an accurate rendering of Pilate's character and personality. The story has some interest in depicting in personal terms the contending interests that a Roman governor had to deal with in Jesus' time: the two neighboring king Herods; the prerogatives and rivalries of the Jewish priestly class; Rome's interest in maintaining order in the province; and the financial requirements of maintaining order and building public works.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024
W. Crozier is a known Sanhedrinite. His “Early Life” and “Legacy” on Wikipedia should indicate how much of a slant this anti-Christian, Weimar supporting Edomite would put on historical writings. Pro J 3 VV propaganda. The Romans failed in doing what should have been done, so that the truth got out and an Edomite Babylonian cult’s blood lines were cut out of history forever.

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2006
not bad as fiction. the entire book may be read online. However it is fiction that, unfortunately, seems to be regarded as a non-fiction source.

An original review of the book:

Review of 'Letters of Pontius Pilate', Manchester Guardian, 30 March 1928

Crozier's interests in Latin and Greek classics and the Bible inspired his writing. His first novel, 'Letters of Pontius Pilate - Written during his Governorship of Judea to His Friend Seneca in Rome', was published in 1928, and is reviewed in the Manchester Guardian by Professor Herford of Manchester University.
