Story Setting: Athens in 59 – 64 A.D. A Tale of Athens in the First Century

In this book the author has portrayed some of the many difficulties that Christianity had to contend with in the 1st century AD; not only paganism and philosophy, but from every mode of life and tone of thought then prevailing. Christianity was planted amongst a culture of corrupt, luxurious, cruel pleasure-seekers and proud, self-satisfied and disdainful philosophers – sounds familiar, doesn’t it?  The insights into ancient Greece gained from this story are relevant and helpful in understaniding our present age.  A must read if you studying Ancient Greece.
