An expert on early Christianity reveals how the early church invented stories of Christian martyrs—and how this persecution myth persists today.

According to church tradition and popular belief, early Christians were systematically persecuted by a brutal Roman Empire intent on their destruction. As the story goes, vast numbers of believers were thrown to the lions, tortured, or burned alive because they refused to renounce Christ. But as Candida Moss reveals in The Myth of Persecution, the "Age of Martyrs" is a fiction.

There was no sustained 300-year-long effort by the Romans to persecute Christians. Instead, these stories were pious exaggerations; highly stylized rewritings of Jewish, Greek, and Roman noble death traditions; and even forgeries designed to marginalize heretics, inspire the faithful, and fund churches.

The traditional story of persecution is still invoked by church leaders, politicians, and media pundits who insist that Christians were—and always will be—persecuted by a hostile, secular world. While violence against Christians does occur in select parts of the world today, the rhetoric of persecution is both misleading and rooted in an inaccurate history of the early church. By shedding light on the historical record, Moss urges modern Christians to abandon the conspiratorial assumption that the world is out to get them.

中文|2013年3月5日|ISBN:0062104527|320页|真正的EPUB（零售版）|0.64 MB 一位研究早期基督教的专家揭示了早期教会是如何编造基督教殉道者的故事的，以及这种迫害神话是如何延续到今天的。 根据教会传统和普遍信仰，早期的基督徒受到残酷的罗马帝国的系统迫害，意图毁灭他们。正如故事所说，大量信徒因拒绝放弃基督而被扔到狮子面前，遭受折磨或活活烧死。但正如Candida Moss在《迫害的神话》中所揭示的那样，“烈士时代”是一个虚构的时代。 罗马人没有持续300年迫害基督徒。相反，这些故事是虔诚的夸张；对犹太、希腊和罗马贵族死亡传统的高度程式化重写；甚至是旨在边缘化异端、激励信徒和资助教堂的伪造品。 教会领袖、政治家和媒体专家仍然援引迫害的传统故事，他们坚持认为基督徒曾经并将永远受到一个充满敌意的世俗世界的迫害。虽然当今世界某些地区确实发生了针对基督徒的暴力事件，但迫害的言论既具有误导性，又植根于早期教会不准确的历史。通过揭示历史记录，莫斯敦促现代基督徒放弃阴谋论的假设，即世界正在追捕他们。
