This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I really need to pick up some books about early Christianity and its relationship to the Roman Empire. Certainly cool history.

My first rec would be Rod Bennett's The Early Church in Her Own Words. It's a good starting point that grounds you in what the early authors of Christianity were thinking and discussing.
