Yesterday, Tom Woods did a podcast with George Kalantzis, author of “Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service.”
We know early Christians avoided service in the Roman army, but was that because of its pagan religious overtones or out of a moral opposition to violence and bloodshed — or both? And what happened to make military service acceptable for Christians centuries later? I explore these and other important questions with Professor George Kalantzis.
