Metamorphosis is the podcast of Trinity United Methodist Church in Piedmont, Missouri, where we share the unchanging love of Jesus to change people’s lives.
In A.D. 64, Emperor Nero blamed the massive fire of Rome on the Christians. Thus began persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. Or did it? The reality is more complicated and nuanced than our popular historical imagination.
In A.D. 70, the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. This contributed to the distinction of Christianity and Judaism, allowing different expressions of Christianity to establish themselves. That included some ideas we now regard as heresies.
Eric recounts and reflects on this fascinating period of the early church.
