Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines clashing ideologies at the turn of the 4th century. Set in ancient Rome, the story follows the unlikely friendship between Dorcas, a young Jewish woman who has embraced Christianity, and Marcellus, a centurion in the Roman army. Their daily interactions challenge the religious beliefs and deeply ingrained social customs of the era, shedding light on the profound differences between Christian ethics and Roman values. As Dorcas explains her faith in a compassionate God, Marcellus struggles to reconcile these beliefs with his dedication to the empire. The author gives great depth to the novel through philosophical discussions and historical contexts, exploring Christianity's growing popularity amidst the political and religious landscape of the Roman Empire. This book provides a unique perspective on early Christian ideals and highlights the tensions between spiritual and societal values within the larger context of ancient history.
