My favorite is from a pagan, whose words they immortalized only to argue against. Julian. He gives a pretty good view of how the Roman administrative state viewed Christianity, why they had an issue with it, and even the failures of Rome which lead to its expansion.
He also nails the belief system so simply and so accurately that you could be forgiven for thinking that he was a contemporary critic discussing the state of the faith and its relationship to society today. His mere existence was a near disaster for the faith. Had he not been assassinated there would be no Christianity as we see it today.
