0:4:00- Craig's Introduction
0:11:20 - Why should we care about the early church?
0:21:00 - What are some of the biggest differences between the Antenicene Church and the Post-Constantinian Church?
0:28:00 - Did Constantine change the church overnight, or was he just watering the seeds latent in the church?
0:38:10 - What is the Donatist Controversy and how does it inform our discussion of empire, orthodoxy, and ecumenicism?
0:49:45 - Are the Donatists or the Post-Constantinians the true/best representation of the true church?
0:56:15 - How do we know what orthodoxy is and what aspects of the faith handed down to us is the winners writing orthodoxy/history?
1:09:00 - What did disputes in the church look like prior to having access to the sword of the state?
1:013:45 - How has the power of the sword influenced our world today? What might the world look like today if Christians didn't bear the sword?
