In 64 AD the most powerful nation on earth--a pluralistic, materialistic, multicultural empire--declared war on a small religious sect. 258 years later it finally defeated this sect by making it the state religion... We will look at the history of the early Christian church, keeping an eye on how it shaped our present and looking for parallels that that might be helpful today.
