In this provocative, irresistibly entertaining book, Keith Hopkins
takes readers back in time to explore the roots of Christianity in
ancient Rome. Combining exacting scholarship with dazzling
invention, Hopkins challenges our perceptions about religion, the
historical Jesus, and the way history is written. He puts us in
touch with what he calls "empathetic wonder"-imagining what Romans,
pagans, Jews, and Christians thought, felt, experienced, and
believed-by employing a series of engaging literary devices. These
include a TV drama about the Dead Sea Scrolls; the first-person
testimony of a pair of time-travelers to Pompeii; a meditation on
Jesus' apocryphal twin brother; and an unusual letter on God,
demons, and angels.
