Cultural Christians in the Early Church: A Deep Dive with Nadya Williams

Join historian Nadya Williams, alongside theologian Tara Isabella Burton and writer Henry Oliver, to explore the intersection of faith and culture in early Christianity.

In her book “Cultural Christians in the Early Church,” Nadya Williams challenges the modern assumption that the earliest Christians were uniformly zealous converts. Instead, she reveals that cultural Christians—those who adopted Christian practices more for social and cultural reasons than deep religious conviction—were the norm and grapped with the same cultural pressures and sins that we see in contemporary society.

Topics to be discussed:

• The cultural challenges faced by early Christians in the Greco-Roman world.
• The concept of cultural Christianity and its historical prevalence.
• How early Christians navigated issues such as immodesty, dietary laws, and gender roles.
• The practical lessons that modern Christians can learn from the early church.
