"Maier has done it again! This latest video series is an engaging study of the rise of the Early Church. Against tremendous odds early Christianity rose to the point in the fourth century that it became the official religion of the Roman Empire. How did this happen and why? Deeply learned and provocative in his answers to these questions and many others, Maier draws his information from a number of ancient sources, in particular the writings of first-century Jewish writer Josephus and those of the fourth-century Father of Church History, Eusebius. Expertly using these sources he tells this fabulous story of the emergence and rise of the Christian faith with aplomb, winsomeness, and humour. I highly recommend it for both group study and personal knowledge."
