Charles D. Stanley, a New Testament scholar and retired professor on social and religious history, brings to life, A Slave’s Story A Trilogy – revealing a quest and journey for healing in the lives of two men at opposite ends of the social structure (one a slave and one an aristocrat) during the ancient Greco-Roman empire. Shedding light on the beginnings and birth of Christianity, the first century AD, Stanley paints a realistic and historically accurate picture of religion. Society functioned in realms of religion that intertwined into every part of daily life in mid-century Asia Minor. Worship of many Gods was commonplace, and to believe upon one true God was unheard of and foreign. The author also presents apostle Paul’s era and the viewpoint of the citizenry of ancient Asia Minor.
Fascinating and well-researched this historical fiction novel presents insight into life during the Greco-Roman empire, witnessing the budding of Christianity and also presenting the roots of the Christian religion from Judaism and a reality of religion through the backdrop of a tempered religious atmosphere accepted by the majority of Roman citizens.
