Product Information
Only 300 years after Jesus, following a long period of persecution of Christians, Constantine became the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity. How was this virtually unknown sect within Judaism able to become a religion with "most favored" status in the highest regions of the Imperial court? How did Christianity become an anti-Jewish religion? Why did it win converts? Why was it attacked by the masses early in its history? How did orthodoxy emerge over time? This course takes a scholarly perspective in answering these and other questions. It follows the fascinating tale of early Christianity and its many subplots to illuminate significant issues in the history of this major world religion.Product Identifiers
