| Summary: | This article is a survey of twentieth-century communist historical scholarship concerning early Christianity. It is inspired by the recent publication in English of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s (1922-1975) screenplay Saint Paul. The historiography will be of interest to those concerned with the rise and fall of proletarian government. It focuses on the resistance to Roman imperialism, slavery and emperor worship that helped overthrow the Empire. It summarises left historiography concerning Christian resistance among Judean Ebionites, Montanists in Asia Minor, Donatists in North Africa, bagaudae in Spain, Gaul and Germany, and Arians in Italy. |
