  • Why Daniel Grace Reimagines Judas and Pilate in Modern Times

    In this thought‑provoking episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Daniel Grace, author of In the Wake of Golgotha. Grace reframes the crucifixion story by exploring its “collateral damage,” giving Judas and Pilate a second look as complex enablers rather than one‑dimensional villains.

    Set in modern‑day New York City, the novel follows reincarnated characters Jude Issachar (Judas, burdened by guilt) and Peter Pfeiffer (Pilate, cursed with ignorance) as they grapple with redemption, fate, and violence. Grace also shares how his Tuscan winery inspired his next project, Territorium, a dark tale of buried secrets in ancient vineyards.

    ✨ Key Takeaways
    • The premise of In the Wake of Golgotha: collateral damage of the crucifixion
    • Reimagining Judas and Pilate as enablers, not just betrayers
    • Sparse historical records as a “blank canvas” for storytelling
    • Modern reincarnation in NYC: guilt, ignorance, and redemption
    • Themes of faith, fate, addiction, and state violence
    • How winemaking and history inspire Grace’s upcoming novel Territorium

    ✨ Whether you’re a reader fascinated by fresh takes on history, a lover of dark, thought‑provoking fiction, or someone intrigued by the blend of wine and storytelling, this episode offers a bold new perspective.
