Christianity in the Pax Romana, Part IV (Defending Christianity) - The Pax Romana Podcast 064

  • Summary

  • How did early Christian apologists defend their faith against Roman skepticism and hostility? These were no ordinary defenders; they included philosophers like Justin Martyr and Tertullian, who used Roman law and logic to argue for Christianity's legitimacy. From debunking the worship of Roman gods as illogical and immoral, to explaining Christian rituals like baptism and the Lord's Supper, these educated Christians presented compelling arguments to emperors and magistrates. They tackled accusations of atheism, sedition, and immorality, proving that Christianity was not a novel superstition but a fulfillment of ancient prophecies, deeply rooted in what was then known as Hebrew scriptures.
