The Wrestler of Philippi: A Tale of the Early Christians is a historical fiction book written by Fannie E. Newberry. The story takes place during the early years of Christianity and follows the life of a young man named Demetrius, who is a wrestler from Philippi. Demetrius is a strong and skilled athlete, but he is also a devout follower of the Greek gods and is skeptical of the new religion that is spreading throughout the Roman Empire.As the story unfolds, Demetrius meets a group of Christians who challenge his beliefs and introduce him to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Despite his initial resistance, Demetrius becomes increasingly drawn to the Christian faith and eventually converts.The book explores the challenges faced by early Christians, including persecution by the Roman authorities and social ostracism from their communities. It also delves into the themes of faith, redemption, and the power of love and forgiveness.Overall, The Wrestler of Philippi is a compelling and thought-provoking read that offers a unique perspective on the early days of Christianity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
