The Catacombs and the Colosseum
Stephen Benko and John J. O'Rourke
Judson Press, Valley Forge. 1971. First paperback edition. In excellent condition; very minor rubbing to front cover, some discoloration on page edges, notes and underlining throughout.
This book provides historic context for the Roman Empire as the setting of primitive Christianity. A bit dry, but a fascinating read that will expand your understanding of the early church. The notion of an almost totally clandestine religion is really fascinating. Try it out.
