Paganism And Christianity 100 425 Ce by Eugene N. Lane
A Sourcebook
A concise sourcebook that assembles translated texts to trace the shifting relationship between traditional Greco-Roman cults and the emerging church from the second to early fifth centuries. Through imperial edicts, letters, sermons, philosophical critiques, and civic petitions, it illuminates debates over sacrifice, temples, persecution and tolerance, conversion, and the tightening web of legislation from Trajan to Theodosius. Brief introductions and notes contextualize each document, revealing how everyday practice, elite advocacy, and state policy interacted to transform religious life across the late Roman world.
