Ancient Christanity course cover

Ancient Christianity

Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization.

“I am 74 years old, and have been listening to Unashamed since the beginning. I have decided to follow you at Hillsdale College. I listened to the first lesson, and I loved it. I have been in church my whole life but I am learning new things myself.”
“I love all the courses at Hillsdale!! So excited to do this one with the Unashamed family!!!”
“I love the format of this study. The lessons from Hillsdale and then the podcast discussion are a perfect way to bring it all together and encourage deeper thought and learning.”
“I have truly enjoyed the Hillsdale College lessons. Thank you for doing this.”
“Signed up with Hillsdale and excited to participate with the Unashamed nation!”
“I signed up for this course over a year ago, bought the Genesis book that goes along with the course, received the DVDs and never started the course. Thank y'all for motivating me to dive into the course.”
“Taking the course and loving it! Love all your points, so thought-provoking!”
“I studied the course and took the quiz. This is crucial for the future of humanity to learn the Bible and educate themselves. I am so glad the youth of the family are right in the middle of this series — FANTASTIC!”
“The Hillsdale course and the professor are fabulous! I had also never thought about God’s grace and mercy being shown to us by posting the angels to keep us out of the garden so that we don’t live in perpetual hell without a way back to God.”
“I’m so excited for this, I signed up for the courses. Thank y’all so much for making this possible. I’ve learned so much from Unashamed and watch via YouTube faithfully. I’m excited to get to dig deeper into the Word with you all!”
“I listened to Dr. Jackson and printed the study guide before this episode aired, watched the episode when it aired and now 5 days later remembered to do the quiz. I only missed 1 answer. Now on to Abraham, Sarah and Hagar.”
