Behold the Man: Poems of the Witnesses

Behold, the Man: the words uttered by Pontius Pilate after he had Jesus scourged and mocked by his soldiers. This book contains poems by people who "beheld" Jesus, who had some contact with Him, be it brief and indirect, or an extended relationship. The experiences are usually positive, though not in every instance, and are told from the perspective of minutes or decades after the meeting. The poems follow along the life and teachings of Jesus, from His birth to resurrection. The author was born in Camden, N.J. in 1962, from parents that moved there from Puerto Rico in the 1950s.
