Chained but unyielding, the Apostle Paul arrives in Rome after a harrowing journey marked by a catastrophic shipwreck, a venomous viper, and the miraculous power of God. Confined to a hired house, his prison becomes the unexpected epicenter of a spiritual war. While the apostle preaches with bold confidence to a stream of soldiers, senators, and slaves, the battle for the soul of the Empire has just begun.

From within his chains, Paul pens his most profound letters—Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, and the masterpiece to the Hebrews—forging a doctrinal arsenal for the churches scattered across the world. Meanwhile, his companion, Dr. Luke, meticulously assembles the ultimate legal defense: a comprehensive, orderly account of the life of Christ and the birth of His church, crafted to prove the apostle’s innocence before Caesar.

But as the Word of God goes forth, a counter-narrative of slander and suspicion takes root in the heart of Nero’s court, cultivated by the shadowy influence of the sorcerer Simon Magus. As heresies from the East threaten to tear the churches apart and the Great Fire of Rome ignites a city’s rage, the believers are cast as scapegoats, and the apostle’s hard-won freedom hangs by a thread.

Book 9 of the 1st Century House Churches series, The Prisoner in Rome is a gripping and immersive narrative of faith, courage, and the forging of the New Testament in the crucible of persecution. It is a story of how the Word of God, though its ambassador was in chains, could not be bound.
