Jan 10, 2023 · Frend was inspired by de Ste Croix to consider the question’s less formal elements. 18 But where de Ste Croix set aside Jewish agency, Frend made it his key focus: ‘In the study of the persecutions the Jews, Christians and authorities have an equal part in the drama’. 19 For him, persecution stemmed from not just the antagonism between pagans and Christians but also ‘the ceaseless ...

The church was actually born on the Day of Pentecostwhen the Holy Spirit came upon believers. This is recorded in Acts 2:1-6 What an amazing testimony to the power of God. Since those who were witnesses to this event, where each heard these things in their own language, God was saying that the message of salvation was not only for the Jew but for t...
In the New Testament, the Christians had to meet in homes and often did as Acts 2:46-47 says, One difference about the early church was that they met daily, in most circumstances, and they also ate together. Nothing can make a church draw closer together than having meals together. This was the custom of the early church…perhaps the first church po...

This has not changed much in the church of today although today many churches have communion every week, some once a month, while others have it about once every ...
The early church was much more evangelistic than the church is today, with exceptions of course. The early church did not tolerate open and unrepentant sinning as some churches do today. Many churches today accept unrepentant homosexuals and even ordained, openly homosexual pastors and members. This would have been inconceivable in the early church...
Dec 28, 2017 · G. E. M. de Ste. Croix was a Marxist, atheist, feminist historian of the ancient Greek and Roman world who came to ancient history in middle age and produced important studies of the role of class and the oppression of the poor throughout ancient Greek and later history.
In this respect, the author focuses on four key features of Ste. Croix's work: his spatial analysis – the distinction between chora and polis – of the Gospel narratives in relation to Jesus, and the treatments of property, slavery and women, especially in the way the early church quickly gave up the radical nature of its founder's positions. Although the article critiques elements of Ste ...

Sep 28, 2006 · But let us not look at the persecutions entirely from the top, so to speak—from the point of view of the persecutors. Scholars who have dealt with this subject, Roman historians in particular, have with few exceptions paid too little attention to what I might call the underside of the process: persecution as seen by the Christians—in a word, martyrdom, a concept which played a vitally ...
