Impulsore Chresto reassesses opposition to Christianity AD 50-250.
The Roman authorities' persecutions have caught the attention of
both the public, intrigued by martyrs, and scholars, arguing that
executions were relatively rare. This is not challenged, but the
executions are placed in context as the most dramatic aspect of a
spectrum of opposition including rumors, polemic, harassment and
accusations. Such opposition was taken for granted and rarely
described. When studying the preserved texts on trials against
Christians, however, it appears that even here relatives,
plaintiffs, spectators or local officials played crucial roles.
There were as many reasons for opposition as opponents, but some
motives reappear in clusters: Christians were perceived as
superstitious and ungodly, as endangering peace with the gods and
social order.
Issue will cover: sinle muscle fiber electrophysiology, skinned
muscle fibers, magnetic resonance imaging in muscular dystrophy,
ultrasound of nerve and muscle, microgenomics of the motor neuron
system, and electrodiagnostic studies in animal models.
