Have you ever heard someone say that Christianity is anti-intellectual?

Well, you should send them this episode. And have them 'like' and 'subscribe' too, that would help us a lot.

But anyways. Justin Martyr was a 2nd-century Greek man with a love for philosophy, who found the fullness of all love of wisdom in Christ. We think he's a pretty cool guy.

And today we're joined by another pretty cool guy, friend of the show Jacob Lewis. Join John and Jacob as they wax philosophically about, well, philosophy.

As you guys know, we love presenting church history as a beautiful anthology of the story of God's people. Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the vastness of that story when we don't venture out of our own contexts.

So today, we're going to peer to the far outside branches of our Christian family tree, and discuss the origin of one of the most longstanding Christian traditions in the world: the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

To any Ethiopian (or otherwise East African) listeners, please forgive all of my flaws and mistakes, and feel free to let us know how to pronounce things properly.

Thanks for being here.

"Why are you booing me? I'm right!"
- the early church, probably

The first century was a funky time to be a Christian, but persecution as we know it was pretty scattered and sporadic. In the second century though, things are starting to ramp up.

Join us for another episode from our "The Early Church Gets the Worm" series, and listen to us forget to edit out some fun mic noises in the first five minutes!
