From the 2nd century AD to Constantine's conversion, Robin Lane Fox's "Pagans and Christians" offers a fresh look at an extraordinary era. How did this dramatic shift from paganism to Christianity come about? How did Christianity match up against the gods of Rome? Through this scholarly work, we get an up-close view of Christians & pagans living side-by-side in civic life & their differing religious experiences, visions, cults & oracles. Drawing on newly-discovered evidence, the book seeks to boost & back up our knowledge of the period right up to Constantine's conversion.
