| Summary: | The Christian faith was birthed in a milieu of criminal law. The Romans crucified Jesus after trial for causing public unrest. Only a few decades later, the apostle Paul was tried before the Roman governor Festus for disturbing settled order. According to tradition, Paul was later beheaded at Rome. The earliest Christian communities no sooner formed than they found themselves under the threat of criminal proceedings. The Roman emperor Trajan, corresponding with Pliny the Younger, an imperial magistrate, addressed proper procedure for the trials of Christians. Other emperors put considerable numbers of Christians to death. |
