Martyrdom and Persecution in the Early Church A Study of Conflict from the Maccabees to Donatus

---

The original suggestion for this work came from the late Professor H. Last, Principal of Brasenose, in 1951. Last had for many years been interested in the problem of the Christians in the Roman Empire and in his articles in the Journal of Roman Studies and his eminent contribution to the Reallexikon für Antike und Christentum had demonstrated the continuity of Roman policy towards foreign cults of which Christianity was originally only one. My first aim was to revise and bring up to date E. G. Hardy' s Christianity and the Roman Government, an excellent book, still offering a basis for any student to approach the subject even though first published in 1894. Difficulties, however, proved insurmountable. Apart from the mass of recent material which would have to be incorporated in footnotes, Hardy wrote as a Classical scholar in an age dominated by Classical studies, whereas my approach was more that of an historian, tending to attribute as much importance to the attitude of the Christians themselves and the influence of Christian doctrine as sources of conflict, as the outlook of the Roman authorities and the legal system of the Roman Empire. A new outline history, widening Hardy's scope to cover as far as possible all the factors, religious, social and economic, which contributed to the conflict between the Church and the Roman Empire in the first three centuries A.D. was necessary.
