«L'Évangile selon Pilate» is the historical novel by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (282 pages, in French).
The novel alternates two perspectives: first, a man waits in the Garden of Olives to be arrested and recalls his past as a craftsman while wondering about his gift for preaching and performing miracles; then, Pontius Pilate investigates the disappearance of a corpse that has reappeared alive, and the inquiry awakens doubt in him and, with it, the idea of faith.
It won the Grand Prix des lectrices de Elle in 2001. The work is set within contemporary French literature.
It will interest readers of historical fiction and those seeking a literary approach to questions of faith.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a Franco-Belgian playwright, short story writer and novelist, as well as a film director. His plays have been staged in over fifty countries all over the world.
