Bag om Between Caesar And Jesus

Between Caesar and Jesus is a historical and theological book by George Davis Herron that explores the tension between two powerful forces in ancient Rome: the Roman Empire and the message of Jesus Christ. The book is divided into two parts: the first part examines the political and social context of ancient Rome, while the second part delves into the teachings of Jesus and their relevance to the political situation of the time.Herron argues that the Roman Empire was a corrupt and oppressive system that perpetuated violence and inequality, while Jesus' message of love and compassion offered a radical alternative. He explores how the early Christians navigated this tension, often facing persecution and martyrdom for their beliefs.The book also delves into the role of Christianity in shaping Western civilization and its ongoing influence in contemporary politics and culture. Herron argues that Christians have a responsibility to resist oppressive systems and work towards a more just society, following the example of Jesus.Overall, Between Caesar and Jesus is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the intersection between politics and religion, and the ongoing relevance of Jesus' teachings in today's world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
