A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF ROME by JAMES L PAPANDREA is a very interesting book which gives us insight into what life was like in Rome, especially for the Way-followers or early Christians. It is good to read it in conjunction with the New Testament as we come across so many of the apostles and early believers in the story. A Week in the Life of Rome is a cross section of ancient Roman society, from the overcrowded apartment buildings of the poor to the halls of the emperors. Against this rich backdrop, illuminated with images and explanatory sidebars, we are invited into the daily struggles of the church at Rome just a few years before Paul wrote his famous epistle to them.
