The "Decian persecution"
The "Decian persecution" mentioned by so many Christian writers (and no official source) is not yet mentioned. It will have to form a sub-section.
- Joshua Burns, "Perception and persecution in the Roman Empire: The Edict of Decius" (http://www.logosjournal.net/papers/burns_2002.html) is a modern historian's assessment. The "seven apostles to Gaul" went out after this persecution. Any other thoughts to add before we start assembling this section? Wetman 05:53, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
1911 historiography
I've remove some EB1911 historiographical commentary about disputes on sources, as Im sure its been resolved and/or needs a modern update, in any case the facts of the article are so basic its probably not relevant here, EB1911 is notorious for playing up drama for the humours of the victorian reader.
