This is an adaptation of Frederick Buechner's vision of a contemporary Pilate, plagued with a need to know, a foreboding wife, and a legacy of shame. Mostly borrowed from Telling the Truth: Tragedy, Comedy and Fairytale (our text in Faith and Art at Rosebud for many years), but also from some of his other writings. Indebted to Buechner for his eloquent retelling of the Gospel in contemporary parable. Thank you.
