3.6 Cities of God: Ephesus, a Church and Its Riots

Ephesus was home to one of the Wonders of the World; and it's the setting for one of the most dramatic moments in the itineraries of the Apostles: the riot of the silversmiths. It was also the location of one of the most dramatic moments in the age of the Fathers: the riotous council that condemned Nestorius.
