Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an erudite exploration of early Christianity, delves into the beliefs, rituals, and societal context of the first centuries AD. The author argues that the triumph of Christianity was less a spiritual awakening than a carefully orchestrated political and social maneuver, facilitated by a series of key concessions to the powerful elites of the Roman Empire. At the heart of this analysis is an examination of the deep-rooted pagan beliefs that persisted within the Christian church and society at large, shaping everything from the veneration of saints to the design of religious iconography. The author traces the origins of these influences to the Roman culture from which Christianity emerged, demonstrating how the church adapted and incorporated pre-existing beliefs and practices to gain acceptance and consolidate its dominance. Through meticulous research and analysis of early Christian texts and archaeological evidence, this book offers a fresh perspective on the birth of Christianity. It illuminates the complex interplay between religious doctrine, political expediency, and cultural assimilation, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of paganism in the Christian tradition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
