This is Part 1 of the conversation with Dr. Nadya Williams about her book Cultural Christians in the Early Church; a book that argues that cultural Christians were the rule, rather than the exception, in the early church. While focusing on the Christians in the 1st to 5th centuries, their stories provide a fresh perspective for considering the difficult timeless questions that stubbornly persist in our own world and churches.

Customer Reviews
2023 year end review
Listening to the end of your recent podcast paid off in the most serendipitous way. A dear friend and I were speaking about our desire for peace and love for all caught in the current crisis. Much stronger words are warranted, but I choose these today.
The words of Fr David Neuhaus were extremely helpful that as a Christian and an American there is a third option. Living as Jesus, in the TENSION it does feel as if it ripping me apart at times. Yet, I want to be honest about the atrocities being reported.
Thanks for the brief mention of these episodes in your year end review. They have given me perspective and courage during an extremely trying time.
