Deep dives
Early Christian Preaching and Persecution
Early Christian preaching was seen as worthy of persecution by Christian Jews who attacked Moses, God, and the temple. Moses symbolized the law, while Christians emphasized salvation through God's grace and Jesus. The temple's role, gathering sins until Jesus' arrival, was now unnecessary with Christ as the temple. Stephen in his sermon highlights the Abrahamic covenant, a covenant of grace often overshadowed by legalistic interpretations.
