โœฆ Synopsis

Who and what was pagan depended on the outlook of the observer, as Christopher Jones shows in this fresh and penetrating analysis. Treating paganism as a historical construct rather than a fixed entity, Between Pagan and Christian uncovers the fluid ideas, rituals, and beliefs that Christians and pagans shared in Late Antiquity.
