Quo Vadis ft. Maggie

Set against the back drop of Rome in crisis, General Marcus Vinicius returns to the city as Nero’s atrocities become more extreme until he burns Rome, laying the blame on the Christians.


We’re putting the Christ back in Saturnalia this week with an episode on Christianity in the 1st century AD. Maggie guides us through the history of the early church with the help of the 1951 Hollywood epic Quo Vadis, and explains why these ancient religious communities are so significant to Christians today.

Hosted by Liam, Russian Sam, Halal Sam, and Maggie.

Further listening: E04 - Barbarians
