Archbishop Chaput considers the similarites between Roman culture in the time of Christ, and our society today. He examines how the Christian example both preached and lived, can lead to conversion towards truth and the resurrection of a culture of life. In particular, he touches upon the need to “live” the Way of Christ in all contexts, including the political ones.
