A Little First Century Context

In the minds of your average Mediterranean non-Christian, I think Christianity was most often lumped in with the likes of Mithraism, which was also new at that time. There were superficial similarities between Mithraism (which had its own internal divisions) and genuine Christian religion. But this was putting it in a class of symbolic religions, not Hellenistic rationalism. A great many official records listed Christianity as merely an offshoot of Judaism.
