Review Pontius Pilate (Modern Library Paperbacks) / Random House USA Inc:Pontius Pilate, by Ann Wroe, is beautifully written, imaginatively researched, and intricately structured. Most importantly, it provides readers with a valuable emotional experience: a chance to rediscover and redeem Pilate's famous question-"What is truth?"-in a spirit of humility and hope. A handful of small coins and one inscribed stone are the only physical evidence that Pilate existed. All of the textual sources that mention Pilate, Wroe notes, are "so wrapped in propaganda or agendas that it is difficult to detect what, if anything, may be true". But since Pilate "stands at the centre of the Christian story and God's plan of redemption", Wroe persevered in her efforts to discern the profile of his life. "Without his climactic judgment of Jesus, the world would not have been saved. To have a faceless bureaucrat at the heart of all this drama was unacceptable: something had to be made of this man". The book's bold ambition, however, is not blind. "This is not a search for the 'real' Pilate", Wroe admits. "At best, all we have are glints and hypotheses". [+]To learn about her subject, Wroe had to sacrifice most of her sympathetic impulses, and shift her concentration to the elements of Roman life that she did not understand. And oddly enough, the passages in which Wroe describes her ignorance most clearly are the passages where we begin to glimpse "a man actually walking on a marble floor in Caesarea, feeling his shoes pinch, clicking his fingers for a slave, while clouds of lasting infamy gather overhead".

Review The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Yiddish (Complete Idiot's Guide) / Imprint Unknown:Whether you're getting back to your roots or getting ready for your first seder, it couldn't hurt to get a little help with your Yiddish, and the formidable Rabbi Benjamin Blech is here to lend a hand with the self-deprecatingly named Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Yiddish. This language has been a strong influence on American English and pop culture, so even if you're a hundred miles from the nearest synagogue you can learn plenty just from browsing the Rabbi's words of wisdom. It's not just vocabulary lists and pronunciation guides, either-that would be far too boring for such a vibrant language. You'll learn why a culture that typically uses two languages (Hebrew and whatever's local) needed to develop a third, and why it stuck. There's also lots of Jewish history and contemporary Yiddish-American crossovers to put the language in its context-and, given the importance of humour in Jewish culture, there's a liberal helping of jokes and funny moments to help you grasp words and concepts. Chapters on holidays, travel, food, family, health, entertainment and more round out your Yiddish experience. If you want to gossip with your local yenta, understand Lenny Bruce routines, or get to know a great and ancient culture a little bit better, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Yiddish will make you a maven. -Rob Lightner.
