Anders Christian Jacobsen (res.)
Boin is uncomfortable with how some early Christians depicted themselves and with the way that the history of early Christians and early Christianity has been told until now. [...]Boin discovered that this history was written in a misleading way, he loved all the Greek and Roman heroes, the ancient city of Rome and its architecture, and he was convinced that the stubborn Christians were to blame for bringing this excellent ancient Roman culture to its end. The first problem is the claim that he can paint a truer (or even the true) picture of early Christianity by picking out a number of individual stories, which all add up to the picture of ordinary Christians as being good Romans, and representatives of the Christian establishment (bishops, etc.) as being violent and stubborn. According to Boin, it was not the non-Christians who were aggressive toward the Christians, but their own extremist leaders.
