About the Editor

Sandra SweenySandra Sweeny Silver is a researcher, historian and writer of fiction and non-fiction on a variety of topics from gardening, cooking, beekeeping, religion and ancient history. She has published numerous articles and eight books including Footprints in Parchment: Rome Versus Christianity 30313 AD and The Rise And Fall Of The House Of Herod. Sandy’s interest in the early church was inspired by a 2002 trip to the catacombs in Rome. While exploring the iconography she realized that she needed to connect with the experience of the earliest Christians, and so this journey began. FIP Cover

FOOTPRINTS IN PARCHMENT: Rome vs Christianity 30-313 AD  tackles the question: How did a group of Christians with no homeland and no standing army defeat the juggernaut of ancient Rome? Using hundreds of first-hand accounts of events, Footprints in Parchment guides the reader through the rise and the reach of Imperial Rome to its eventual ruin and rescue by the infant Christian Church.Herod Cover

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE HOUSE OF HEROD chronicles the founder of the House of Herod, Antipater, and follows his sons, grandson and great-grandson as they grapple with and fail to hold on to the legacy Antipater bequeathed them. For the first time in one book all the Herods and Agrippas in the Bible and in Josephus are back to back with each other, and the reader will finally be able to separate them all.
