Author Links Christian Imagery to Roman History

A Colombian author, Juan Esteban Constaín, visited the catacombs in Rome and was struck by the similarity between the Greek myth of Orpheus and early Christian representations of Christ. He wrote a 554-page book, ‘El hijo del hombre,’ exploring the connection between the first Christian movement and paganism in ancient Greece and Rome. The book examines the parallels between Orpheus’s role as a savior and Christ’s, highlighting a key aspect of early Christian beliefs.
