"Y'all gon' make me lose my mind up in here."
-Emperor Diocletian, probably
The third century wasn't a great time to be a Roman. But believe it or not, it was a great time to be a Christian! Churches were built, the faith was spread, and the influence and witness of Christ's followers flowed far and wide.
But that would soon come to an end.
I mean, sort of. It didn't stop. It just got a little more martyr-y.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas are back with another banger, discussing the Diocletianic Persecution of the early 4th Century. It would be the final and most violent persecution brought about by the Romans, and (against all odds) would lead to a bright and new dawn for the church.
