John,

Learning about how early Christians worshipped and prayed, faced persecution and hardship, and settled theological disputes enriches our understanding of the faith. These lessons are especially important today, as Christians face increasing opposition from the culture.

But, beyond reading the New Testament and some of the stories of early Christian martyrs, it can be daunting to figure out how to proceed. The complicated history of imperial Rome, along with the foreign names and locations featured in early Christian history, can make understanding the most important historical points difficult.

To uncover this fascinating history, we’ve produced our online course, “Ancient Christianity,” now available on DVD. 

In this course, Professor Kenneth Calvert is your guide through the first four centuries of Christianity as he explains the remarkable ways the new faith transformed the Roman world.

Would you help support this course so we can make it available to millions of Americans for free? As a token of our appreciation for your support, we’ll send you a copy of our beautiful DVD Box Set for any donations of $100 or more.
