Caesars and Saints the Rise of the Christian State, A.D. 180-313

by Stewart Perowne

An intriguing record of those crucial centuries in the history of mankind--the obscure period between the death of Marcus Aurelius and the rise of Constantine--in which a pagan monarchy centered in Rome transformed itself into a Christian theocracy directed from Constantinople. Documents 3 key sub-themes: the reasons why material Rome was in decline; the ways in which it was saved from dissolution as much by Semitic as by Italic enterprise; and how it was inevitable that Christianity should become the basis of a new order.

This is a well written book. It provides so much good information about the Roman emperors and the various persecutions of Christians. This book is a good resource for studying the book of Revelation.
