description: New insights unearthed on how the early Jewish-Christians coped after the crucifixion of Jesus; why Nero tried to purge them; why the emperor's insatiable greed for money forced Jerusalem into a ruinous war and how the first Christians emerged with a new vitality that would one day sweep away Rome's profusion of pagan gods and temples.
