really liked it

bookshelves: church-and-culture, history, theology

This was a very fine and scholarly treatment of one of the great events in the history of the world -- the cessation of public sacrifices under Constantine. Or, rather it is about the background to this event, which would be the currents of faith and thought that made such an event possible.
