I came across your broadcast on Peter. I was doing some research on Rome, as we are soon to be on an adventure to the New Testament world. Your broadcast popped up; I know that was not by mistake. My husband and me, like all good books start from the beginning. We felt a bit like we were in the 1930s in the Golden Age of Radio listening to your broadcast. My husband and me, both in our 60s, arrived at church a little late in life, we can't learn enough, quickly enough. We have leaned right in to scripture, church, bible studies, Alpha.... We just finished listening to S1E1. The broadcast ended, and we both looked at each other and said "WOW". We can hardly wait for S1E2. We will be going to Rome and seeing the empire through a whole different lense. Thank you for the history lesson.

I thought it was a really interesting point that the Romans sent people to investigate Christianity and they said that Christians worship Christ as God. I wanted to share this point with a friend, but I couldn’t find the original source. Where was that from?

I don't how this was possible as I already have great respect for the Scriptures, but, thanks to this lesson, I have an even greater appreciation for the way they were preserved. Thanks for pointing out that the Scriptures were already considered the Scriptures during the apostles' time.

What I can say is that this is another very good lesson. That's what I can say.

Very good insight into what is really worship.

Thanks again for your insight concerning the greater historical setting that was a backdrop for what happening in the church's history.

Thanks for teaching about the cultural environment that the church was in, how this was an influencing factor on the thinking of the believers.

Thanks for the humble approach to the study of history. This lesson has been very interesting and I am looking forward to all the other lessons.

Worthwhile historical commentary
