What the Early Christians Believed About Entertainment

In this well-researched work, David Bercot discusses the four primary types of Roman entertainment: (1) chariot races and sporting events, (2) gladiator combats, (3) the theater, and (4) banqueting. He describes what the pagan Romans did at these events, and then he presents what the early Christians had to say about each of them. In this regard, he quotes extensively from the early Christian writings. Finally, he shows what Christians today can learn from the example of the early Christians in taking a sober look at today's entertainment.
