Persecution of Christians
Persecution of Christians
can be traced
historically
based on the biblical account of
Jesus
in the
first century
of the
Christian era
to the
present time
.
Early Christians
were persecuted for their
faith
at the hands of both
Jews
from
whose religion Christianity arose
and the
Roman Empire
which controlled much of the
land across which early Christianity was distributed
.
Early in the fourth century
, the religion was legalized by the
Edict of Milan
, and it eventually became the
State church of the Roman Empire
.
