bookshelves: history, theology

Greatly enjoyed this. It is a history of the relationship of Rome and the early Church over the course of the first three centuries. Much of it is taken up with the politics of numismatic interpretation, and it is quite revealing.

David Huff Sounds interesting! I'm plowing through Gibbon's "Decline and Fall" and am immersed in Vol 2, which covers this very era from a different (and in Gibbons' case, sometimes skeptical) context.
