From Christ to Constantine The Trial and Testimony of the Early Church

The first three centuries were decisive for Christianity with the very existence of the Church threatened as opponents tried to wipe it out. The Church not only survived but became a foundational, shaping influence for modern Western civilization. How did the fledgling Church overcome the opposition of the Roman empire - the mightiest empire the ancient world had ever known?
