How Every Persecution Begins

from Living Theology · host Brendon Naicker

Most people know that Christians were persecuted by Rome. Few know that before Rome came for the Christians, it first targeted another group. In this episode, Brendon Naicker explores the rise of Emperor Diocletian, the Great Persecution, and the forgotten warning that history leaves behind: persecution rarely begins with the final target. The outsider is labelled dangerous. Rights are removed. Silence follows. Then the circle expands. The first target is never the last. #LivingTheology #ChurchHistory #ChristianPodcast #Persecution #FaithAndCulture #HistoryRepeats #Christianity #brendonnaicker
