Before the Cross: The History of the World That Made Christianity explores the people, civilizations, ideas, religions, wars, discoveries, and cultures that shaped the world into which Christianity was born. Beginning thousands of years before Jesus, historian and educator Steven Bush journeys through the ancient world—from the first civilizations and great empires to Greece, Rome, Israel, and beyond. Along the way, Before the Cross asks not only what happened, but what life was actually like for the people who lived it. Grounded in historical evidence and told with an appreciation for Christianity’s place in the story, Before the Cross welcomes believers, skeptics, and anyone who simply loves history. This is the story of the world before the Cross—and the world that made Christianity. Hosted on Acast. See
