The Myth of Persecution

How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom

Candida Moss

This book challenges the myth of Christian persecution in the early Roman Empire, exposing it as an exaggerated and invented story. Candida Moss, a leading expert on early Christianity, reveals how the idea of martyrdom is still used today to silence dissent and galvanize culture warriors. While violence against Christians does occur in certain parts of the world, this book urges modern Christians to abandon the conspiratorial assumption that the world is out to get them, and instead, find spiritual guidance in the true history of the early church.
