Chris continues his discussion of the book, "The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom," by Candida Moss, professor of New Testament history and Christian Origins at Notre Dame University. Her book is, admittedly, written with a political intent by which she argues that modern Christians view all opposition as "persecution" because they believe in the early persecution of the Church. In response, Dr. Moss attempts to refute the stories of persecution against Christians for their faith -- despite two thousand years of history that contradicts her -- and has crafted clever arguments (described as "sophistry" by one reviewer) in a desperate attempt to justify her otherwise misleading title.
