In this 12th episode of Church History, Pastor Lance goes further into some of the later challenges to orthodoxy presented by groups such as the Ebionites, Mani and his Manichaeists, as well as the Church Leaders and Apologists Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian. The Alexamenos Graffito also makes an appearance, indicating the broader derision Christians faced in the Empire.
