In this episode we continue our series of Snapshots in Church History. For this episode we are focusing on the era immediately following the time of the completion of the New Testament. Christianity didn't become popular in Roman society until the early 4th Century when Emperor Constantine rose to power. His conversion marks one of the major shifts  in Church History. Before that, however, Christians found themselves in the throes of Pagan Rome. In this ep we attempt to paint the picture of what life was like for some of the very first followers of Jesus, and the hardships the church faced as the Christian faith spread. There's a surprising amount of cross over between then and now.
