Jesus had authority over “every power and dominion.” The letter’s tone was majestic. Its theology? Monumental. But the real test of a letter’s power isn’t the parchment—it’s the ripple. And Ep...

Viewing the God of Israel as cruel and separate from Jesus' loving Father, Marcion's canon included only an altered Luke and ten Pauline letters, positioning Paul as the sole true apostle. Excommunicated by the Roman church, which returned his hefty donation, Marcion founded rival congregations that spread widely. His heresy compelled early Christians to a...

Carved beneath the city, these tunnels housed altars and frescoes of fish and crosses. Presbyters like Gaius led Eucharist services for hundreds, hiding from Roman patrols.
