Pagans: The End of Traditional Religion and the Rise of Christianity by James J. O'Donnell

3.0

This book was tough to get through, but it might be my nonfiction slump I’m in. It was pretty insightful, but definitely had a Christian bias, and sometimes the characters and history got murky. So murky that, though I’m very familiar with Emperor Constantine, I was almost lost as to who he was talking about when we talked about him. Minor things, but entertaining and informative. It was nice to get a broader picture on the rise of Christianity, though it isn’t a history of Christianity.
