Christianity And The Roman Government

""Christianity and the Roman Government: A Study in Imperial Administration"" by Ernest George Hardy is a scholarly examination of the relationship between the early Christian Church and the Roman Empire during the first three centuries of the Common Era. The book explores the ways in which the Roman government attempted to control and suppress the spread of Christianity, and how the Church responded to these efforts. It also examines the social and political context in which Christianity emerged, and the ways in which it challenged and transformed the existing power structures of the Roman Empire. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, including official documents, literary texts, and archaeological evidence, Hardy provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of this complex and fascinating period in the history of Western civilization. This book will appeal to scholars and students of ancient history, religion, and politics, as well as anyone interested in the origins of Christianity and its relationship to the wider world of the Roman Empire.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
