(apologies for the zoom hiccups)As Christianity begins to threaten the economy of idol-makers, one silversmith, Demetrius of Ephesus, has a plan: use patriotism, religious zeal, and mob mentality to create such a disturbance as to have these Christians removed from their city. Cool heads prevail, but not before a riot ripples through the city and into the presence of the City Clerk. Amidst all this, the accused Christians keep level heads and rely on the power of God.
