Brilliant quote here from ‘Hitting the Holy Road’ about the early Christian Church and her Roman fellows,
“Some non-Christian writers devoted a great deal of energy to attacking Christians and the Christian Faith. The most famous was Celsus. He condemned Christianity as appealing only to the ignorant and weak.Writing sometime in the second century, he attacked Christianity as a Faith for “wool-workers, cobblers, laundry-workers, and the most illiterate and bucolic yokels, who would not dare to say anything at all in front of their elders and more intelligent masters.”
Not much has changed then!
