The emperor Tiberius, five years after the crucifixion of Jesus, sent a to Judea a Procurator Augusti to impose a strategy to control the manifestations of doctrinal intolerance towards the communities of followers of Christ. The Procurator, by questioning the characters who took part in it, reconstructs that dramatic succession of events identified with the "Passion of Christ". Thus, in pressing succession, the phases of Jesus' public life, the circumstances of his capture, the process in front of the Sanhedrin and then in front of the Roman prefect Pilate are analyzed. In the end the steps of martyrdom and the confusion of the empty tomb are reconstructed. The theological part is entrusted to the commentary of the learned Nicodemus which illustrates the innovative foundations of the doctrine of Christ. The doctrinal differences between Jesus and Judaism emerge from the pressing comparison with the priest Anna. And while the first bloody persecution of Christians, outside Palestine, took place in Rome, in Palestine, sectarian conflicts caused the first Jewish-Roman war to explode with the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.
