![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a book on precisely what its title claims it to be: pagans and Christians. Pagans and Christians represents a quantum jump in the quality of scholarship on late classical paganism and on the history of the early Church. They will certainly be inspired by it and it is much to be hoped that they will debate its perspective, its methods, and its implied conclusions with the same degree of transparent engagement and good sense that the author shows throughout its 681 pages of text. The learned will undoubtedly quarry its formidable erudition for decades to come. The cultivated reader can wander in it with ever renewed pleasure and with the guarantee of reliable and up-to-date guidance. This open-hearted and learned book is one that any scholar of the ancient world and of early Christianity would be proud to have written. ![]()
