In The Myth of Persecution, Candida Moss, a leading expert on early Christianity, reveals how the early church exaggerated, invented, and forged stories of Christian martyrs and how the dangerous legacy of a martyrdom complex is employed today to silence dissent and galvanize a new generation of culture warriors.

According to cherished church tradition and popular belief, before the Emperor Constantine made Christianity legal in the fourth century, early Christians were systematically persecuted by a brutal Roman Empire intent on their destruction. As the story goes, vast numbers of believers were thrown to the lions, tortured, or burned alive because they refused to renounce Christ. These saints, Christianity's inspirational heroes, are still venerated today.

Moss, however, exposes that the "Age of Martyrs" is a fiction--there was no sustained 300-year-long effort by the Romans to persecute Christians. Instead, these stories were pious exaggerations; highly stylized rewritings of Jewish, Greek, and Roman noble death traditions; and even forgeries designed to marginalize heretics, inspire the faithful, and fund churches.

The traditional story of persecution is still taught in Sunday school classes, celebrated in sermons, and employed by church leaders, politicians, and media pundits who insist that Christians were--and always will be--persecuted by a hostile, secular world. Moss urges modern Christians to abandon the conspiratorial assumption that the world is out to get Christians and, rather, embrace the consolation, moral instruction, and spiritual guidance that these martyrdom stories provide.

Luxurious feel
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is soft and fuzzy. It has a little weight to it so it’s great to snuggle up on the couch with. Double lined makes it feeling luxurious. Haven’t noticed any shedding yet I’ve had it for a month and have washed it a couple times.

amazinggg!!
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
i loveee this blanket. after opening and breaking the air seal i threw it in the dryer for 20 minutes to fluff it up and it's perfect. it's very thick and slightly weighted (3-5 lbs) and super duper stretchy. it's double sided so you can use it facing any way you want. i've never tried either brands but from everything i've seen, this is pretty much an exact duplicate to the lola brand and comfrt brand blankets. i do wish they made more size and color options but other than that i'm obsessed. (for size comparison reference, i have a queen bed!)

I absolutely love this Bedsure blanket! It is incredibly soft right out of the package and feels cozy without being too heavy. The fabric is plush and smooth, making it perfect for lounging on the couch, layering on the bed, or staying warm during chilly nights.

Love this blanket!!!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely LOVE this blanket!! It is an exact dupe for the “Lola” blanket. One of my friends has one and it feels the same and at just a fraction of the cost! It’s so soft and stretchy. It has such a nice weight to it and is the perfect size. I have already ordered 3 more for gifts this Christmas. I’m surprised this isn’t sold out!
