Both the canonical and non-canonical Gospels appear to absolve Pontius Pilate of his role in the death of Jesus. Listen as Mark Goodacre, a Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins and the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Religion at Duke University, discusses why early Christians sought to acquit Pilate and how both the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Peter depict Pilate’s role in the Passion narratives.
