Good time to be a Christian in the Roman Empire. 230 AD was during the tolerant reign of Severus Alexander and some decades before Diocletian re-started up the martyr making machine (yes, I had to look up the chronology). These brothers could communicate with each other without having to worry too much about who might read their letters.

The history of The Faith is interesting. Bad times lead to good times lead to complacency and persecution. But that persecution seems to always end up like fire tempering steel. The Faith comes out stronger in the end.

P.S. And remember Paulus, buy as much property along the French Riviera. It will probably be worth a lot of money some day.
