Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire

 * – (View discussion)

This article is a mish-mash of stuff that rambles all over the place without any focus and has all too obviously been written by numerous editors over a number of years with passages added bit by bit. On the talk page the first comment is from a student saying that his professor used the article in a lecture as a way of demonstrating bias (bias of assuming that the stories of persecution are true and not examining them critically.) There is a section dealing with persecution of the early Christians by Jews, I con't understand why it is in there at all. I take exception to the very first sentence "Persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire began with the Crucifixion of Jesus" as Jesus was not a Christian. I would prefer to work with others on revising an article like this as we all have our biases and points of view and it is easier to achieve neutrality with another viewpoint rather than working alone.Smeat75 (talk) 00:38, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
