Cover of The Bronze Ladder

The Bronze Ladder

Sarturus is a carefree teenager from the Roman province of Africa who has an appetite for the seedier side of life. Perpetua is a young and headstrong noblewoman entrapped by the traditional views of her father. Two people from different backgrounds, seemingly with little in common, yet both are drawn to the new and radical religious movement that is sweeping the Roman empire - Christianity. But why are so many around them bitterly opposed to this new, radical faith? And why are those who embrace it willing to pay the ultimate price, rather than give it up?
