This truly interdisciplinary volume brings together respected historians, social scientists, legal scholars, and advocates. As their contributions attest, understanding religious freedom demands taking multiple perspectives. The historians guide us through the contested legacy of religious freedom, from the nation’s founding and the rise of public education, to the subsequent waves of immigration that added successive layers of diversity to American society.
The Christians and the Roman Empire overturns the myth of an unrelenting persecution of the subversive, Christian “outlaw.” Using contemporary sources and authentic documents —including imperial edicts and records of the deeds of non-legendary martyrs—Marta Sordi shows that the conflict was primarily religious and almost never political.
