Description
Step into the crowded, smelly cities of the ancient Roman Empire and find how the first Christians lived, worked, played, and worshipped alongside their non-believing neighbors. As a persecuted minority with morals out of step with the hedonistic cities they lived in, how did they form an identity and live into their calling? We’ll explore cities like Rome, Constantinople, Ephesus, and Corinth through the influence of Christians on architecture, art, government, social services, and so much more. You’ll also meet five individuals involved in modern urban ministry, who shed light on how believers today are following in the footsteps of our forebears. This issue of Christian History is enhanced with gorgeous images. Order your copy today!
