How should Christians live in an age of empire? As the city of
Ephesus prepares for a religious festival in honor of the emperor
Domitian, a Christian landowner feels increasing pressure from the
city's leaders to participate. Can he perform his civic duties and
remain faithful to his Lord? Or has the time come for a costly
choice? In this historical novel, biblical scholar David deSilva
brings to life such compelling struggles faced by the early
Christians. Their insistence on the absolute lordship of their own
singular deity brought them into conflict not only with the myriad
religious cults of the day, but with all the crushing power of the
empire itself. Meticulously researched and supplemented by
historical images and explanatory sidebars, A Week in the Life of
Ephesus poses anew the timeless question of Christianity and
empire. Here is a vividly imaginative portrait of the Roman empire
in all its beauty and might-and hanging over it, the looming sky of
apocalypse.
