Ancient Insights for Modern Christian Persecution, with Louis Markos (Encore)

Christian Emergency Podcast

Christians today are alarmed by the rising pressures around them. So much of the growing hostility seems alien, angry and novel. But the truth is, the Church has encountered pressures since it was born. None of this is new.

To help us gain our bearings, Professor Louis Markos joins the Christian Emergency Podcast. Professor Markos teaches at the Texas Christian University and is the author of 25 books, covering such topics as the early Church, ancient Rome and Greece, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and apologetics.

On this encore episode, Professor Markos sheds helpful light on how the early Church responded to serious persecution in their own day. How was their experience similar to ours? What can we learn from them and apply in our own lives?

We must rediscover Christian history and the history of persecution. Today’s show helps do precisely this. Armed with this important insight, the pressures we face will be placed in better context. You will be encouraged, and our circumstances will be both less mysterious and frightening.
