Can you truly know the bedrock of your faith without knowing its genesis?

For centuries, the spiritual heart of the Catholic world did not beat in the Vatican. It pulsed from a forgotten hill across Rome-the Caelian Hill-where stood the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, Omnium Urbis et Orbis Ecclesiarum Mater et Caput (Mother and Head of all the Churches of the City and the World). This magnificent volume, The First Throne of Peter, invites you not merely to read history, but to step onto the very ground consecrated by Emperor Constantine himself in 324 A.D. Witness the miraculous transformation of a pagan cavalry barracks into the world's first public Christian cathedral, the sacred place where the Popes of Rome held undisputed authority for a thousand years. Prepare to uncover the imperial roots and spiritual destiny of the true Cathedral of Rome.
