Second Period: Ante-Nicene Christianity covers the literature and general character of the Ante-Nicene Age, exploring the spread of Christianity and its literature. It examines the hindrances and helps that influenced the faith's success, including the means of propagation and the extent of Christianity across the Roman Empire, Asia, Egypt, North Africa, and Europe. The text addresses the persecution faced by Christians and the martyrdom experienced during this period, providing a general survey of these challenges. It discusses the Jewish persecution and the causes behind Roman persecution, detailing the condition of the Church before Trajan's reign and the subsequent emperors, including Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius. The text highlights significant events such as the martyrdom of Symeon of Jerusalem, Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp, as well as the persecutions under Decius and Valerian. It also covers the temporary respite from persecution and the Diocletian Persecution, leading to the Edicts of Toleration. Additionally, the rise of martyr worship and relic veneration is examined, alongside the literary contest Christianity faced against Judaism and paganism, including notable opposition from figures like Josephus, Tacitus, and Celsus.
