Response to the following:
How did the periods of Christian persecution during the 3rd Century cause the Church to think about the doctrines of salvation and the church?
Key figures in the church history and fathers of Christianity such as Novatius and Cyprian greatly shaped the doctrine of salvation in the third century. Their theology was informed by individuals who were persecuted such as Perpetua and Felicitas.
This debate on salvation doctrine was crucial as many conformed to Christianity but were not real believers and follower so Jesus Christ. They needed to also deal with the "lapsed".
