Synopsis

What was it that enabled a few thousand “Jesus followers” to win hearts and minds in an empire entrenched with pagan gods and temples? Why did the Jewish authorities continue to persecute the apostles after Jesus? What forced the Jews into a suicidal rebellion against Rome and why did it allow the Christians to shed their Jewish identity? The years A.D. 30-70 were among the most turbulent in human history, and The Faith and the Power is the most complete account ever assembled of how the Christians challenged the Roman world -- and why the degeneracy of their political overlords paved the way. In the process, it reveals the roots of tension and terror in the Middle East that afflict the world today. But the victors in this case were a revolutionary religion that preached the gospel of man’s mercy and God’s grace.
