A Book You Can Trust - Part 6 - Rome in History

 This is sixth in a series of seven articles in consecutive issues of Awake! that discuss the seven world powers of Bible history. The objective is to show that the Bible is trustworthy and inspired of God and that its message is one of hope for an end to the suffering caused by mankind's cruel domination of his fellow man.

JESUS founded Christianity, and his followers spread it abroad during the days of the Roman Empire. You can still see Roman roads, aqueducts, and monuments in such lands as Britain and Egypt.  Those Roman remains are real.  They remind us that Jesus and his apostles were also real, as were the things they said and did.  As a case in point, if you walk on the ancient Appian Way, you were walking the same path that the Christian apostle Paul may have traveled on his way to Rome. - ACTS 28:15, 16.
