The Christian in Pagan Society: Case Histories of Hostility — Episode 3
Welcome back to The Christian in Pagan Society. In this episode, we examine two historical case studies illustrating the tension between Christianity and pagan society. The first, from Acts 19:23 onward, recounts the riot in Ephesus stirred by Demetrius the silversmith, who fears that Paul’s message threatens their prosperity and the worship of Artemis. Discover how economic interests and mass psychology fueled opposition to the Christian witness, and what this reveals about hostility toward faith in a pagan world. Join us as we learn from history how the Gospel’s presence often sparks resistance—and how faith persists amid opposition. E.M Blaiklock
