    Episode 2.11 Lay Hold of Life Eternal

    In 393, the Christian Theodosius defeated the pagan Arbogastiz, cementing Christianity as the dominant faith in the Roman World and proving it as the true faith. Less than 20 years later, Rome was sacked by Alaric and the Goths for the first time in more than 800 years. In the aftermath, St. Augustine wrote his magnum opus, City of God, showing that the point of faith was not to win rewards on earth, but to secure entry to the heavenly city of God.

    Episode 2.6 The Council of Nicaea

    In May 325, Emperor Constantine called a council of bishops together outside of Nicomedia to settle doctrinal disputes and align the followers of Christ under a universal catholic church. This was to end the ongoing conflict between Arius and Athanasius. While history remembers this ecumenical council as a unifying moment for Christians, it did not really play out that way in the immediate aftermath. Instagram: @germaniapod

    The decentralized nature of the early Christian communities meant that a lot of different beliefs about the nature of God and Jesus were proposed and preached. The name that is now associated with the heresies more than any other was Arius, a presbyter from Libya.  Instagram: @germaniapod
