Christianity: Faith, Scripture and Tradition

The Christians as the Romans Saw Them

by Robert Louis Wilken

A study of how educated pagans viewed the early Christians, through the eyes of Pliny, Galen, Celsus, Porphyry and the emperor Julian. Wilken shows that their criticisms were serious intellectual and social arguments that helped shape Christian thought.
