Christopher D. Stanley, a New Testament scholar who specializes in the social and religious history of early Christianity, brings the world of Paul and the early church to life in his new historical fiction trilogy, “A Slave’s Story.” See how you can win a free Kindle copy of the first book in the series!
.
The first two books, A Rooster for Asklepios and A Bull for Pluto, follow the lives of two men at opposite ends of the social structure, a slave and an aristocrat, as they journey across first-century Asia Minor (modern Turkey) in a desperate quest for healing.
.
Religion—Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian—plays a vital role in the series as Stanley paints a realistic and historically accurate picture of the competition that the apostle Paul faced as he sought to spread the message about Jesus in a pagan culture. Along the way, he helps readers to see how odd Christianity appeared in a world where the worship of many gods was woven into every facet of life and the idea of a Jewish Messiah bringing salvation from sin and judgment was a foreign concept.
.
Countless other aspects of life in the Roman world are vividly illustrated in this fascinating and well-researched series that is receiving five-star reviews on Amazon from both scholars and ordinary readers. The reviews, which include more information about the contents of the books and their relevance for early Christianity, can be viewed A Rooster for Asklepios: A Slave's Story, Book 1 and at A Bull For Pluto: A Slave's Story, Book 2.

In my most recent interview on GEMS,I enjoyed having the opportunity to connect with others. It is a podcast about educating, inspiring and motivating others with powerful stories that make an impact in people’s lives. It features real and authentic conversations and words of healing and inspiration.

From my mothers' side, I am the second eldest to five children. I was the one that was scared of my mothers' wrath, so I would not do anything to make my mother mad because whatever was in front o her, she would use to knock the hell out of us. I was scared of pain and my six-feet two inches tall mother. A person who still is five-six, still frightened of my mother, only meaning she has never heard a curse word come out of my mouth. As we were going over some of those days, I realized, omg, I thought I was the good one. You have to read to get all the goodies.
