I recommend that you read this book with a GRAM of salt. Evans has an
ax to grind and he rewrites of lot of history to fit his thesis. Although
I read the book several years ago, one example still comes to mind: He
writes that Christianity was first taken up by the ruling class of Romans
and foisted upon the Roman peasantry. He uses a lot of footnotes, but hardly
ever to document his claims.
