Can he perform his civic duties and remain faithful to his Lord? Or has the time come for a costly choice?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this historical novel, biblical scholar David deSilva brings to life such compelling struggles faced by the early Christians. Their insistence on the absolute lordship of their own singular deity brought them into conflict not only with the myriad religious cults of the day, but with all the crushing power of the empire itself. Meticulously researched and supplemented by historical images and explanatory sidebars, \u003ci\u003eA Week in the Life of Ephesus\u003c\/i\u003e poses anew the timeless question of Christianity and empire.
