Imagine you're writing a letter to the President (or Emperor, depending on what era you live in).

Point by point, you bring up each idol of that day and age, and refute it thoroughly. Then you explain, it clear and compassionate terms, that the reader should submit themselves to the God of Christianity, repent of their sins, and commit to a Christian life.

Actually, the more I talk about it, the less crazy it sounds.

But this is essentially what we see in the 2nd Century document known as the Epistle to Diognetus, one of church history's FIRST EVER written apologies of the Christian faith.

Join Jonathan Taylor Thomas as we crack open another tall can of church history.
