Christianity began as a persecuted religion in the Roman Empire, but by 350 A.D., it had spread and come to hold great influence. Julian, the last pagan emperor, rejected Christianity and attempted to restore the Hellenic traditions of Rome. The emperor even went so far as to try to rebuild the Jewish temple, hoping that this would undermine a core Christian prophecy, but failed in his efforts. Alex Petkas, host of the "Cost of Glory" podcast, joins me to discuss Julian's failed attempt to revitalize a dying religion in the face of cultural change.
