The Early Christians in Rome

"The Early Christians in Rome" by H. D. M. Spence-Jones is a historical exploration of Christianity's beginnings in Rome. It examines the important roles of the apostles Peter and Paul in establishing the Roman Church and explores the Jewish community in Rome during the first century, which helped early Christianity grow. The book describes the difficulties Christians faced, notably the growing persecution after the great fire of Rome in 64 AD during Nero's reign. Written in an scholarly style, it provides a view of the social and political environment of the time, as well as the life-changing effects of Christianity on its followers and on Roman society.
