Through a vivid narrative, Ben Witherington brings ancient Corinth to life. Over the course of a week, the reader follows the daily life of a freed slave and discovers, through his encounters, the religious, social, and civic life of a first-century Roman colony. A gladiator, a pagan priestess, Erastus, and the Apostle Paul mark this immersive journey, shedding light on the historical context of Paul’s mission and his letters to the Christians of Corinth.
