How did an obscure Jewish sect take over one of the world's greatest empires. Arising virtually out of nowhere, in a not particularly important part of the Roman Empire, based on a man who'd suffered a runaway slave's death, followed by only a few faithful adherents and intermittently persecuted; Christianity rose to become the most popular religion on earth. What did they do right?
Views: 530 | Enquiries: 0Living in the northeast of England, I've taught History in secondary schools for 25 years. For the past five years I've been a tour guide on Hadrian’s Wall. As a result of positive recommendations, I'm featured in Rick Steves’ travel guide to England. On Rick’s website a visitor from Arizona in 2020 said:
“Peter is both knowledgeable and charming. I learned so much in such a relaxed and pleasant way. I can highly recommend him”.
I have a 100% “excellent” set of reviews on Trip Adviser, which awarded me a Travellers’ Choice Award in 2020. I'm also a “friend” of Vindolanda. As a result of COVID-19 I've delivered talks on Zoom to u3a groups in England and Scotland, responses to which include:
“That was really interesting. I have just had some emails come in from members saying how much they enjoyed it” and
“What a fascinating talk this evening, I did enjoy it”.
I have a passion for history, and especially for Roman Britain. My depth of knowledge and ability as a communicator has fascinated visitors to the Wall and to other sites in the northeast as these reviews on Trip Adviser confirm:
“Peter was most gracious, super historian and story teller” (visitor to Durham Cathedral, December 2019).
“We had a very special day with Peter. As well as being incredibly knowledgeable, he is also a fantastic story-teller” (visitor from Leeds to Hadrian’s Wall, May 2021).
