Ancient Ruins: How Christianity DESTROYED Paganism

In this 'spoiler free' #bookrecommendations, I go over primary aspects of this great work by #CatherineNixey and its analysis of the rise of #Christianity's impact on classical #paganculture. The destruction of the #TempleofSerapis in #Alexandria is highlighted as a symbolic event showcasing the fanatical worldview Christianity brought. While praising the book's content, I critique Nixey's 'presentism' - judging historical figures by modern standards, ironically mirroring what she criticizes ancient Christians for.
