Summary While much work has been done on the role of Jews in the crucifixion of Jesus in post-Holocaust biblical scholarship, the question of violence in subsequent community formation remains largely unexamined. New Testament passages suggesting that early Christ-believers were violently persecuted--the ""stone throwing"" passages from John, the ""persecuted from town to town"" passages in Matthew, the stoning of Stephen in Acts, Paul''s hardship catalogue in II Corinthians, etc.-- are frequently read positivistically as windows onto first century persecution; at the other extreme, they are sometime.
