1) Comparing this to what you read in your Bibles (this week in class), what are some seeming contradictions regarding the legionnaires?

2) How does this incident change your view of the early Church?

3) What does this say about the Roman government and its fears regarding the early Church?

4) If you were the Roman Emperor, and your task is stopping the Christian faith, why would this incident trouble you?

5) What steps would you take to stop the spread of Christianity in your other legions (see #4)?

6) Why do you think Christianity was able to spread to Roman legionnaires, who hardly live lives similar to that of the Acts Christians?

7) Think about the proper adjectives or nouns in this reading (ie: Roman), and tell me what they say about the strength of the Church.
