Footprints in Parchment Rome Versus Christianity 30-313 AD
masterfully tackles the question: How did a group of Christians
with no homeland and no standing army defeat the juggernaut of
ancient Rome? Using hundreds of first-hand accounts of events,
Silver guides the reader through the rise and the reach of Imperial
Rome to its eventual ruin and rescue by the infant Christian
Church. Over a three hundred year period Rome killed tens of
thousands of Christians in an attempt to eradicate this new
religion that it correctly intuited would bring Rome to its knees.
Tertullian had said in the early 200's, "The blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church." Why did Rome kill all those people just
because they believed in a Jewish carpenter from an obscure part of
her Empire and why did so many Christians willingly die? The
martyrs died for the religious freedom to publicly say the words
"Christianus sum." "I am a Christian." They won that right. Rome
Versus Christianity leads the reader down the road of Rome's
decline and Christianity's rise. There are many fascinating sights
along the way.
