In this episode, we consider what might happen to the Church if the conditions of comfort we are so used to disappear because of political developments in the United States. Turns out the Church thrives in pagan conditions.
We were highly dependent on the works of Rodney Stark for much of this episode. Here are a few of the books that informed this conversation:
The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries by Rodney Stark
The Triumph of Christianity: How the Jesus Movement Became the World’s Largest Religion by Rodney Stark
How Christianity Changed the World by Alvin J. Schmidt
