Good read based on NBC minseries of the 80's

This is an interesting book based on the NBC miniseries of the same name that aired in 1984. It covers the early history of Christianity from right after the crucifixion of Christ to the trials and tribulations of the apostles in the first century AD. There is not only a good explanation of how early Christians fared in Rome, but a lot of Roman history, information, and intrique.The book is enjoyable to read and flows very well...the stories and ideas contained within are intresting and the author did a good job with characterization.Sadly, this book is out of print, but may be in the library, used book shop, or Ebay.

A Story of the Caesars

An excellent book on the early days of Rome in the First Century.It begins on the scaffolding after the crucifixion of our Lord in A.D.33 and ends with the burning of Rome in A.D.69.It covers the Claudio-Julian Family with the emporers Tiberius,Caligula,Claudius and Nero.A great story that could have been taken from the Bible.I also enjoyed the NBC mini-series.

One of the best adaptations of early Christiandom.

Kirk Mitchell presented an inspirational look at early Roman/Jewish relations. The characters were filled with personality; the details presented about the era were spectacular. The plot was woven with such care that the novel reads like an authoritative treatise that explains early Jewish, Roman, and Christian life. It is as inspirational as it is informative. The novel was outstanding!
