Bemerkungen

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben und bestoßen, sonst guter Zustand / slightly rubbed and scuffed, otherwise good condition. - In this book, MacMullen investigates the transition from paganism to Christianity between the fourth and eighth centuries. He reassesses the triumph of Christianity, contending that it was neither tidy nor quick, and he shows that the two religious systems were both vital during an interactive period that lasted far longer than historians have previously believed. Contents 1 Persecution, describing the determination of the Christian leadership to extirpate all religious alternatives, expressed in the silencing of pagan sources and, beyond that, in the suppression of pagan acts and practices, with increasing harshness and machinery of enforcement 2 The Cost to the Persecuted, describing the successive layers of paganism which came under threat of destruction, wbat each had brought to religious life, and what was lost to the extent those layers were destroyed. 3 Superstition, describing how best to understand the transition of the classical religious thought-world to the medieval and Byzantine, with newly dominant ideas henceforth controlling the relations between paganism and Christianity. 4 Assimilation, describing the reception by the church of pagan acts and practices along with pagan converts, and how these helped to shape Christianity. 5 Summary Notes Bibliography Index.
