The Christian church has experienced conflicts, heresies, and wars throughout its history. No century has gone by without the church facing opposition. Worst of all, countless numbers of Christians have been brutally executed and subjected to torture because of their faith in Jesus. They were inspired to great acts of bravery and paid the ultimate sacrifice rather than deny their Lord after being warned they would betray their Lord and be taken before governors and monarchs. The early church not only endured this awful assault, but it also grew stronger and by the fourth century had firmly established itself throughout the Mediterranean region. This book provides a thorough explanation of the circumstances leading to their deaths and the effects of their passing.
