500 _aFor more than 300 years, Christians living during the rule of the Roman Empire endured persecution as a result of their faith. How, in the midst of such brutal opposition, did this growing group of believers emerge and ultimately bring Caesar to his knees? Take a closer look at the struggles faced by early Christians and their driving force to endure, as Dr. Joseph Stowell, President of Cornerstone University, takes you on an amazing journey to modern-day Rome. You'll also visit Pompeii, Herculaneum, Ephesus, and other significant locations that reveal the formation of the Christian faith in the Roman Empire from a social, economic, and political perspective. Gain insights into the similarities between the oppression of Christians then and now. Discover how you can stand firm in your own faith through the early believers' example of community, compassion and endurance.
