my degree is in ancient history but the emphasis in my studies was biblical studies. Archaeolgoy, NT / early christainity. Talking about christianity on a forum like this should be academic. There are plenty of places to discuss relgion online.
Its hardly possible to understand the roman empire from the second century on, especially the lower side of life without acknowledging the growth of christianity. The study of law, persecution, non citizen movements, religion etc. i would love to dialouge about anything regarding christianity and rome from an academic viewpoint.
My passion for all things roman stemmed from my early life of studying christianity. I also think its impossible to understand early christianity without understanding the roman empire and civilization.
I think that christianity is best understood in its social / political context of the roman empire. neither can be fully appreciated without understanding both. Lets discuss something !!!!!!!! Dan
