Candida Moss, "The Myth of Persecution" (2013)

The subtitle of this book is, "How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom."

I've finished the book, but have yet to write a summary. Sorry!

In the interim, some positive reviews (with links to other reviews) can be found at the Unreasonable Faith blog
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unreasonablefaith/2013/03/a-good-way-to-die-the-myth-of-persecution/

and Salon.com.

For some balance, I've also included a negative review from First Things.
