Description

Attending an early Christian gathering in the 1st century is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the first followers of Jesus Christ. This book explores what it might have been like to be part of such a community, using a combination of biblical and literary sources, as well as archaeological and inscriptional evidence.

The author has chosen Rome as the setting for this narrative, due to its well-documented everyday life during this period. The home of Aquila and Priscilla, who had a long-term connection with the apostle Paul, is also used as a backdrop for this study.

By examining the details of ordinary life in 1st century Rome, and the practices of early Christian communities, this book provides a unique insight into the lives of the first Christians.
