The Sojourn at Rome

During a six-month stay in Rome, Jesus employs a masterful teaching strategy that would change the course of Western religion. Rather than attacking other beliefs, he skillfully enhances the truths within various Roman philosophical schools, preparing their leaders to later embrace Christian teachings. This diplomatic approach with Rome's Stoics, Cynics, and mystery cult leaders creates an invisible network of allies who would become instrumental in Christianity's rapid spread throughout the Empire.
