How the 7 Letters Show an Unbroken Continuation of Persecution Since Jesus’ Crucifixion
from Living the Bible · host Jason Conrad
Was persecution in the early church just a myth? Some modern scholars say yes—but Paul’s seven undisputed letters tell a different story. In this episode of Living the Bible, we explore how persecution began not with Nero or later emperors, but with Jesus himself—and continued through Paul’s ministry and the churches he wrote to. Long before it was empire-wide, suffering was already the daily reality for early Christians. Join us as we uncover the emotional and historical weight of a movement born under threat.
