From the Back Cover

Rome bears witness to twenty tumultuous centuries of Christian history, like no other place. For today's faithful pilgrim, however, the Eternal City's abundance of sacred treasures can overwhelm, especially when so many tourist guides fail to focus on the faith.

Whether travelling there or simply enjoying it from an armchair, pilgrims can experience the human drama that has always defined the Eternal City: from ancient emperors and martyrs, to Renaissance popes and artists, to the enduring legacy of Rome's architects and saints.

Regardless of the passing of brutal emperors and empires, however, the gates of Hell have not and shall not prevail against Christ's Church.
