    I've been reading a series of books about Ancient Rome, written in novel form but based on real people, dates and facts, itvhas been very eye opening as it creates a very real backdrop for the Gospels and especially the letters to the congregations.

    They're by Steven Saylor, Roma, Empire and Dominus.

    Below is a quote from Dominus:

    "Reason means nothing when the worshippers are completely reliant on the revelations of the prophet."

    Though that would be appreciated here!

    Great series thanks for the reference.

    Many years ago, I remember fondly, reading "Quo Vadis", "Ben Hur" and "The Etruscan" which were great fictional history books.

    "Reason means nothing when the worshippers are completely reliant on the revelations of the prophet."

    How relevant with the JW cult. Baptism question #2 makes it clear.

    Reason means nothing when the worshippers are COMPLETELY reliant on the revelations of the organization.
