    Here's a >>6 page review<< of Candida Moss' "The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom"

    Conclusion: "...this is a deeply flawed book, a work of revisionist history."

    "While conservative Christian rhetoric is sometimes guilty of excesses, this book swings hard in the opposite direction, revising history and denying much of the evidence for early Christian persecution. Modern ideology drives Moss’s thesis more than ancient testimony, and the result is a distortion of history more severe than the caricature she wants to expose."
