Early Church: Byzantium - Part I (A Christian Survey of World History)
Published 4 months ago
Description
What did the Early Church really face in its clash with Rome—and how did heresies like Gnosticism, Arianism, and Pelagianism shape the battle for the soul of the faith? In this powerful episode, R.J. Rushdoony explores how early Christians stood firm against persecution, refused Caesar's control, and built a civilization grounded not in statism, but in the lordship of Christ. From martyrs like Perpetua to the doctrinal victories at Chalcedon, discover how the Church triumphed by holding fast to truth, even under fire.
