Description
Jerome and His Women by Joan B O'Hagan is set in Ancient Rome at the end of the fourth century AD. This pivotal period saw the Roman Empire facing internal strife and external threats, while Christianity was rapidly spreading throughout its territories. The old gods were being replaced by a new faith, one that offered unity and independence from status. As a result, many Romans were drawn to Christianity, weakening their allegiance to the Empire. The consequences for the Roman government were severe, with persecution proving ineffective in stopping the spread of this new religion. This book explores the impact of Christianity on Ancient Rome, examining whether Christian leaders could have secured their faith's supremacy in the West without the support of a single authoritative text.
