Uncover secrets hidden for nearly two thousand years regarding Rome's involvement in the formation of the early Christian movement. Uncover shocking new details regarding the crucifixion and how its perception has been re-shaped over the centuries. This book sheds new light on the early days of Christianity and the motivation behind its beginning. The premise answers numerous intriguing questions in a single, unified theory that cannot be ignored.

The story takes place in the first century A.D. during the Roman occupation of Judea. The book investigates the theory that Rome had a direct hand in the development of the early Christian movement. The province of Judea presented numerous problems for the Roman Empire in terms of a people highly resistant to its authority and subsequent payment of taxes. The Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, conceives a plan to gain insight into the primary source of Jewish resistance, their religion. Pilate enlists liaisons to this driving force and quickly learns of messianic fervors gripping the nation. Pilate twists these forces to his advantage, finding a tool he believes will implement change in the hearts of a resistant nation.

The perspective of the book is realistic and representative of the people and times. The Unspoken Power of Rome introduces a well-developed theory intrinsically supported by evidence presented in the epilogue and footnotes throughout the book. But key to the entire story is a bold discussion on pages 399 and 400 of the epilogue regarding new interpretations of historical evidence pertaining to the method and mystery of Jesus' crucifixion. Every word and page in this novel builds towards the amazing climax of one of the most important and potentially misunderstood events in the history of the world.

Who should read this book? Anyone interested in history and how it effects the present and the future - anyone interested in the origins of religion - anyone interested in understanding the forces present at the birth of one of the most influential and dominant religions in the world today - anyone interested in reading an intriguing and fascinating story. . .
