Part One Series:  The 1st century church Culture

Rome: the city....the best of the Roman world...yet infanticide,  extremely strong drug abuse, more than 82 pagan temples within the city, male / female prostitution and mortality due to filth, crime, and disease...Christianity has the solution then and now for peace, joy, and hope.

Cultural  settings for the Church in the 1st century..... very much like the cultural setting of the 21st century church.

Roman culture had homosexuality, drug additions, abortions, brutalities, border crossings, police corruption, hundreds of religions, multi-class society and an intolerance for Christianity.

Prostitution, gambling, alcoholism and rampart crime... all this was the culture into which the Church was "born".

Many parallels to today
