The Book Club: Rome's Age of Revolutions
About this episode
Tim Whitmarsh discusses how early Christianity thrived within the Roman Empire.
My guest on this week’s Book Club podcast is Tim Whitmarsh, Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge and author of Rome’s Age of Revolution: Augustus, Empire and the Making of Christianity . He tells me why, contrary to what we may have learnt at Sunday school, early Christianity flourished not despite the Roman empire, but because of it. Hosted on Acast.
