  Early Christianity - a cult?

  by serendipity in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  i was wondering if anyone has applied the criteria that identifies a cult to first century christianity, as described in the bible, and historical records from the first three centuries.

  have any of you run across a discussion like that while reading books on cults, hopefully by an author that is either supportive of, or tolerant of christianity?.
