About this title

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.

About the Author

Writing and reporting have been at the heart of Jim Snyder's life since he graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. After receiving a master's in political science from The George Washington University he would serve as Washington correspondent or feature contributor to national magazines. He then became chairman/CEO of a company that founded several business periodicals and related conferences. Having also been a Presbyterian elder for many years, Snyder's deepening interest in early Christianity led him to visit nearly all the first century places cited in this book.
