Plot

The narrator is a novelist, and during his trip to Europe, he finds out that Mount Pilatus in Switzerland is named after Pilate, who sentenced Jesus to death in the Bible. The narrator begins to find out more information about Pilate. Pilate was a Roman and was appointed as the governor of Judaea.  During his life, he was very open to different ideas and cultures including Hellenism, Greek philosophy, and the resurrection belief from Asian Minor.

2004년에 출간된 정찬의 장편소설이다. 작품은 로마제국의 유대총독으로서 예수의 처형을 승낙해야 했던 빌라도의 입장에서 예수를 그린 이야기다. 기독 신앙에서 벗어나 당대의 사회사, 문화사, 정치사의 측면에서 예수를 살피고 있다. 작가는 주인공인 화자가 여행 중 우연히 알게된 '빌라도'이야기를 사회문화적인 지점에서 풍부하게 서사화하고 있다.

Published in 2004, this novel by Jung Chan tells the story of Pilate, who presided over the trial of Jesus and ordered his crucifixion.  In the story, the main character becomes intrigued by his accidental discovery that Mount Pilatus was named after Pilate in the Bible, and he begins to see Jesus, not from the biblical point of view, but from the social, cultural, and political perspectives at the time.
