Bart Ehrman Quotes
In 303 CE, the Roman emperor Diocletian declared war on the Christian church and instigated the most massive persecution it ever endured.
In 312 CE, the emperor Constantine himself converted to become a Christian.
In 391 to 392 CE, the vehemently orthodox Christian Theodosius declared all pagan practices illegal and in effect made Christianity the state religion of Rome.
With the growth of Christianity came moments of heightened intolerance. Sometimes this intolerance erupted in ugly acts of violence, suppression, and coercion.
Christians were not, of course, the only intolerant people on the planet. They themselves had been the victims of violent coercion early in the century.
