What is The trial of Stephen : the first Christian martyr about?
Stephen, suggests Watson, was nearly alone among the early Christians in his particular approach to Jesus as the political Messiah, and certainly alone in the confrontational, rather than persuasive, nature of his preaching. In view of Stephen's departure from mainstream early Christian thought, says Watson, as well as the enmity he brought down upon all Christians, Stephen was perhaps not only Christianity's first martyr, but also its first heretic.
