Thomas Cahill, author of the popular Wheels of History series, explores the origins of Christianity as the foundation of modern Western civilization in a new book. What was the world like before Jesus Christ came into it and what did it become after? Who really were the apostles and how does the Savior appear in the perception of each of the four evangelists? Drawing on a lot of interesting historical materials, including data from biblical archeology and new facts established during the study of Christian antiquities, T. Cahill comes to sensational conclusions that can change our ideas about the church life of the first Christians. “The Hills of Jerusalem” is a fascinating guide to the world of ancient Judeo-Christian culture and at the same time a very useful history lesson, full of bold assumptions and unexpected discoveries.
