Years: 170 - 170
Christians in about 170 accuse the Jews of deicide after Melito, Bishop of Sardis, publishes On the Passion, a sermon in which he blames the Jews for the persecution and death of Jesus and absolves Pontius Pilate and the Romans from any guilt, despite much evidence to the contrary.
Melito's position serves to rid the Romans of any responsibility or shame and thus encourages them to convert.
