Note 34 — Chapter XXXVII · THE PAGAN CREEDS AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY
Reading edition
The history of Christianity, in its earliest stage, is only to be found in the Acts of the Apostles; from no other source can we learn the first persecutions inflicted on the Christians. Limited to a few individuals and a narrow space, these persecutions interested none but those who were exposed to them, and have had no other chroniclers.—Guizot.
