### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A fantastic rabbit hole
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2023*

I’m enjoying every bit of this fascinating book! It sheds light on the formation of early urban Christian communities and how they developed out of Jewish communities. The author provides insight into the lives of lower class, everyday Romans, enslaved and free, in the first and second centuries—the very people from whose communities sprang the Roman church.True, this book certainly has a scholarly bent and may be too dense for some but for those who enjoy a dive underground it is just the ticket.

    Groundbreaking Study That's Still Worth a Read
  

*by R***! on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017*

This was a groundbreaking study of early Roman Christianity when it was released several years ago, and it's still important and worth a read. Lampe is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and his research and presentation is everything that you'd expect from German scholarship.It does get a bit speculative in places (such as hypothetical reconstructions of imperial edicts), but for the most part his conclusions seem plausible enough...just keep in mind that a good deal of it is hypothetical. And where he's dealing with pure facts as opposed to speculative reconstruction, it's an amazing marshalling of disparate evidence—archaeological data, obscure inscriptions, literary evidence, and more all combined to present a coherent picture of early Roman Christianity. That's really what makes the work shine; it rare to find a book that successfully masters so many different fields of study.The one word of caution I would give is that Lampe makes frequent use of primary sources in both Latin and Greek. About half the time a translation is included, and half the time it is not. If you're interested in a book like this, it's likely that you have the scholarly chops to handle Greek and Latin. But a few readers might find themselves in a position like mine—my Greek is very good, but my Latin is very poor. So be prepared to handle both languages to get the most out of this excellent work.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Dry and Hard to Understand
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2022*

Was recommended this book by Mike Winger. However, reading it and trying to take notes, it was difficult to find the implications of what the book was talking about or understand the significance of the facts. I didn't make it through the first chapter. I will try again though... someday. I'm not much of a reader. I did pass the AP English test with a 4 and am attending university, so I think my ability to understand this book should be up there. Idk.
