97. Catherine Nixey (2018)

THE DARKENING AGE: THE CHRISTIAN DESTRUCTION OF THE CLASSICAL WORLD The Roman Empire had been generous in embracing and absorbing new creeds. But with the coming of Christianity, everything changed. This new faith, despite preaching peace, was violent, ruthless and intolerant. Catherine Nixey paints a dark but riveting picture of life at the time of the ‘triumph’ of Christianity and gives a gripping account of how the early Christians annihilated the teachings of the Classical world.  Hosted on Acast.
