B Brotherly love
Aristides once described the early Christians in this way to Emperor Hadrian:
"They love one another. They never fail to help widows, they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If they have something they give freely to the man who has nothing; if they see a stranger, they take him home, and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God."
Would a casual observer be able to make the same radical remarks about Christians today?
