"Volume III, "Caesar and Christ," of Durant's Story of Civilization is, as were Volumes I and II, another impressive feat. Each volume suffers only, perhaps, from too much detail that can obscure his story and the lessons of history, although the mountain of information is good for those who want to dig into particular aspects of this historical period. Durant said once that the best prediction of the future is the past. That past, as this volume shows, is not pretty. "Caesar" is a history of Rome, and that history is one of ambition and assasination, greed and plunder, rank and glory, debauchery and decay. "Christ" is the history of early Christanity with all of its impurities. It is filled with paganism, righteousness and competitive schools of thought. At one level, Rome's material focus can be contrasted with Christainity's otherworldliness. At a deeper level, this is a history of animal man pre-occupied with the self's welfare in this life and the self's salvation in a life beyond. "Caesar and Christ" represents our evolutionary past, but Durant's history is also about how much of our future lies in our past. Durant ends this history with his gracious comment, "Thank you, patient Reader," but after this volume, the reader is ready for Durant's next one."
"Durant follows "The Life of Greece" with this history of ancient Rome. I am again struck that one man can write with such a combination of charm, enthusiasm, and erudition. He also has a sense of humor: the chapter titled "Roman Law" has an asterisk in the heading and a footnote that warns: "This chapter will be of no use to lawyers, and of no interest to others.""
