From Tuesday to Friday I have been a part of a Biblical Study group that has revisited scripture from the lens of Rome as an ancient city. So much of religious history involves Roman people, places and papers. The influence of Greek is prominent all over the city in the ancient writings on walls and statutes.
It's powerful to view sites that predate the birth of Christ and internalize the reality that Roman was once a great empire.
To visit The Vatican and remember the religious influence of Church Fathers, Popes, and the religious faithful is awe inspiring. Looking up at Michangelos Sistine Chapel speaks to an interpretation of the religious story through the eyes of this artistic genus is.
