[Joshua]

Many bloggers try to make comparisons between current events and the "fall" of Rome, in order to make dramatic statements about the future of the country/world/etc. This would be a good book to recommend to such bloggers, as it basically dismantles the idea of a definitive "fall" of Rome. The history is a little dated, compared to Heather's more recent book), but essentially communicates the same concept. And it is relatively short.

[Camden Polley · Rating 2 out of 5]

The topic is obviously interesting enough but rather than an objective perspective the author simply takes up his pro-Christian partiality against the anti-Christian perspective of most of the other scholars of Rome's fall -- and not very effectively or convincingly at that!
