Présentation de l'éditeur
The Mission and Expansion of Christianity in the First Three Centuries BOOK IV THE SPREAD OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION CHAPTER I GENERAL EVIDENCE FOR THE EXTENT AND INTENSITY OF THE SPREAD OF CHRISTIANITY. THE MAIN STAGES IN THE HISTORY OF THE MISSION. JosEP juis, the Jewish writer at the close of the first century, completely ignores the Christian movement; for his so-called testimony to Jesus is a Christian interpolation. He may have deliberately ignored it. Nevertheless, we may infer from his silence that Christianity was numerically insignificant among the religious movements of the age. Even at a much later period it was unnoticed by historians. Herodian, for example, who wrote (about 240 a.d.) a comprehensive history of the period between the death of Marcus Aurelius and the accession of Gordian III., neverjneiitionad it. The following is a chronological list of the more important passages bearing on the outward and the inward spread of Christianity. So far as I know, it has never been attempted before. 1. Paul, 1T hess. i. 8: ev iravr tottco oi5 ixovov ev t Ma :e(5owa Koi A aa rj TrcTT t? vixihv ee Xyfkvdev.
