Is the story of early Christianity based on strong evidence or persuasive myth? In Can It Be False?, the book examines how ancient observers described Christians and how those accounts shaped later beliefs. It keeps the focus on the premise and uses critical history to illuminate the rise of a movement that challenged powerful institutions.

Through the lens of historians like Tacitus, Suetonius, and Pliny the Younger, the work traces what is known and what is inferred about the Christians and their beliefs. It also retells key moments from the earliest trials, including the bold stance of Peter and the ways in which early followers persisted under pressure. The narrative contrasts the Roman and Jewish authorities with the quieter, resolute faith of those who preached the gospel, showing how a small group could influence a sprawling city and beyond.

The book moves beyond names and dates to consider how the story of Christianity has survived criticism and controversy. It also examines how reformers like John Wesley shaped later religious movements, highlighting the tension between religious ideals and institutional power. The discussions invite readers to weigh evidence, narrative, and consequence in the history of faith.

How Tacitus, Suetonius, and Pliny describe Christians and their beliefs

The first trials of Jesus’ followers and the responses of religious authorities

How the movement grew despite opposition and fear of the powerful

Connections to later reformers and the shaping of Methodism

Ideal for readers of Christian history, biblical scholarship, and histories that weigh evidence against interpretation.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The writer prefers no claim to novelty or originality in the subject or the manner of its treatment contained in the following pages. He has merely made an effort to reduce to writing some considerations which he trusts have not been devoid of benefit to him; and this little volume is given to the public in the hope that it may fall into the hands of some to whom its perusal will not prove altogether irksome and unprofitable.
