believed in the message of this crucified one,
adopting a preference for the outcasts and poor
(the dregs of humanity) and preaching brotherly
love for everyone (in a society tightly built in a
pyramid and considered the 'natural order') was
another intolerable folly, which everyone
rejected. Christians had to be eliminated as the
adversaries of human civilisation. The criticism
of antichristian intellectuals was marked by the

of God) in the 1 st century AD. (Shelton) It has

Roman Empire, it was viewed as another sect of
Judaism. There was no differentiating between the
Jews and the Christians in the eyes of the Roman
government. The Christians were seen simply as a
more radical group of Jews. They were also not

Christianity gradually became the prevailing
religion of Rome. The burden of how to respond to
this new religion was placed upon the Roman
government. Many kings or emperors of the Romans
responded to Christianity in a different fashion.
