Hmm I’m sensing a little bit of bias from Mackay in these chapters on Christianity, particularly with martyrdom. Early Christians were burned alive, crucified, torn apart by animals in arenas, and Mackay’s tone kind of says “but it didn’t happen to EVERYONE, just those who refused to reject it.” Also saying “apparently Jesus was executed” is a bit crazy considering it’s historically accurate.
