Summary

Her book says that persecution of early Christians wasn't really a thing. This is actually a very important issue when it comes to the evidence for the resurrection of Christ. If the apostles experienced persecution then we have reason to think that they were sincere in their claims that Jesus had risen from the dead. In this video you'll hear several of Dr. Candida Moss' reasons for thinking their is a "Myth of Persecution" and you'll get thoughtful responses from Dr. Sean McDowell who has specialized in researching and writing on this topic. You'll get a balanced and thoughtful view of this topic today.

0:00.0	All right now
0:05.0	now with Dr. Sean McDowell and let me explain to you what this video is going to be all about.
0:11.0	I really like taking important issues that relate to
0:15.0	the truth of Christianity and covering them in much more detail than you are you

0:30.9	to do it from a specific angle.
0:33.0	We're going to talk about a critic of this case for the persecution of the Apostles, and we're
