Read of Nero?A?A's persecution of Christians and the death of Paul!In this gripping narrative we hear of many historical events which cause perilous times for the fledgling church. Gaius tells of the fall of Jerusalem and the martyrdom of Christians torn apart by wild animals in the Colosseum and of others perishing as human torches in Nero?A?A's garden.Near the end of the book Paul?A?A's own death is very movingly described. His friends shout encouragement as Paul approaches his execution:"We will fight the good fight . . . as did you." "We will carry on!" Despite seeming overwhelming persection, the church survives and successfully incorporates Gentile and Jewish Christians with the incredible shepherding of two apostles: Paul (founder of many Gentile churches) and Peter (Jesus?A?A? disciple and head of the Jerusalem church).Edwards, Gene is the author of 'Gaius Diary' with ISBN 9780842338714 and ISBN 0842338713.
