Context Matters

Rome Appears on the Horizon

Episode Summary

Dr. Randal Smith is the Director of Christian Travel Study Program and joins me today to discuss the rise of the Roman Republic.

Episode Notes

Dr. Randal Smith is the Director of Christian Travel Study Program and a virtual encyclopedia about biblical context. We are in the process of exploring the context of the birth narrative of Jesus, and while we assume Roman domination, it wasn't always that way! Today we discuss how Rome emerged from squalor to an empire that dominated the Mediterranean, outmaneuvering the Greeks and innovating military, economic, and political systems.
