About book Claudia, Wife Of Pontius Pilate (2013)

This was just a pick off the shelf before a snow storm. I enjoyed the first half of the book, though graphic sometimes regarding the Roman games. The story then becomes a telling of Jewish history leading to the death of Christ. To me it just seemed drawn out, predictable and boring. I stopped reading about 3/4 of the way through. If the author had just used a more creative way of weaving the history without being so detailed it would have been a better read. Claudia, wife of Lucius Pontius Pilate, is mentioned only once in the Gospels. Yet this Roman matron, the granddaughter of Emperor Caesar Augustus and Pilate's beloved wife, converted because of a Jewish teacher named Jesus. She exerts influence on her husband while he is prefect of Judea, but she cannot change his final judgment on the crucifixion Of Jesus. Later she realizes that it was part of God's plan for salvation. She is never able to convince her husband that his role in Christ's death and resurrection was part of the Jewish prophecy.Pilate was a complicated man, a Roman soldier who ruled with an iron hand. He was a loving husband, and he had great plans for his son Dorros. Yet, he too fell to the changing politics of Rome, the Sanhedrin, and ultimately to his own pride.This is a book to read again.
