Pagans and Christians by Robin Lane Fox
The transition from pagan to Christian in the ancient Mediterranean world was a process whose effects we still live with today. How did this monumental conversion come about? How did Christianity compare and compete with the pagan gods in the Roman Empire? This work places Christians and pagans side by side in the context of civic life.
