Cities of the First Christians - Antioch

Who were the first Christians in Antioch? Join historian Matthew Larsen on location in ancient Antioch, walking streets buried under centuries of earthquakes, standing in the cave where Peter is remembered to have led the church, to trace the story of the city where believers were first called Christians. This is where Barnabas built a fragile bridge between Jewish and Gentile believers, where a former persecutor named Paul got a second chance, and where the young church had to face its biggest question yet: who does the gospel actually belong to? It's a story of unity, risk, and the cost of holding a diverse community together, and it’s one that still shapes how we understand the church today.
