Rome Churches

Clement of Rome for Beginners brings you face-to-face with one of the earliest Christian leaders—a man who stepped into a divided community and restored harmony with nothing more than conviction, wisdom, and the courage to speak truth.

This book gives you a front-row seat to the moment Christianity learned how to repair itself. Clement wasn’t a philosopher tucked away in an ivory tower. He was a steady ...

In contrast to the oppressive Roman military occupation of the first century, Crossan examines the meaning of the non-violent Kingdom of God prophesized by Jesus and the equality advocated by Paul to the early Christian churches.
