THE MYTH OF CHRISTIAN MARTYRDOM? Chris discusses a new book by a Notre Dame professor who claims that -- despite what the Church has believed for 2000 years -- Christians were never persecuted by Rome in the early centuries. As is typical with such claims, it is said there is "no evidence" of a systematic attempt to hunt and kill Christians prior to the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D. Could this be true? What's more is that the author, Candida Moss, uses this argument as a political weapon against conservative Christian politics. Is her book really history? Or part of an agenda?
