I love books that make us really feel the story and what the characters are going through. Also, this one seems to have real life applications, which always makes me think about life and living.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-22700025434538628452019-04-25T20:33:28.488-07:002019-04-25T20:33:28.488-07:00I might read this next year during my Year of Clas...I might read this next year during my Year of Classics. I'll have to scoot over and add it to Goodreads. I used to have a thing for early Roman history because of taking Latin in high school. I know I've seen the film, but it was so long ago I don't remember much about it. Thanks for reminding me about this book. 👍✨La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-48542981677430825572019-04-25T18:04:50.115-07:002019-04-25T18:04:50.115-07:00I have to admit to not being very knowledgeable ab...I have to admit to not being very knowledgeable about the history of Christianity, but this does sound like a powerful and fascinating read.

I didn't find this to be anti- Semitic as a whole, but then again I see where some might differ- especially since we're getting a Roman perspective, and they clearly looked down on the Jews to a large extent. Whether the author had an anti- Semitic bias is I suppose open to debate, but I certainly hope not! Thank you for helping me to think deeper about this!
