In Saavedra's estimation, although such texts "have been elaborated to respond to internal debates within the Christian community," they still "clearly convey a real conflict between Jews and Christians" (160).According to Saavedra, "the sources record persecutions of the Christians of Smyrna at the time of Domitian, of Antoninus Pius, and of Decius, although we cannot exclude that the community may have experienced other moments of grave difficulty" (343).[...]the study assumes debated interpretations of historical evidence without adequately interacting with contrary viewpoints.
