The reader is taken on a journey from the earliest roots of
Christianity to its near acceptance as religion of the Roman
Empire. The reader is taken from the very first generation of
Christians in Rome, a tiny group of Jews who acknowledged Jesus as
the Messiah, down to the point when Christianity had triumphed over
savage persecution and was on the verge of becoming the religion of
the Roman Empire. Rome was by far the biggest city in the Roman
world and this had a profound effect on the way Christianity
developed there. It became separate from Judaism at a very early
date. The Roman Christians were the first to suffer savage
persecution at the hands of Nero. Rome saw the greatest theological
movements of the second century thrashing out the core doctrines of
the Christian faith. The emergence of the papacy and the building
of the catacombs gave the Roman Church extraordinary influence and
prestige in the third century, another time of cruel persecution.
And it was in Rome that Constantine's patronage of the Christian
faith was most evident as he built great basilicas and elevated the
personal status of the Pope.
