Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire
TO see the Founder Of the Christian movement and some of his followers as they appeared among their contemporaries; to represent Christian and pagan with equal goodwill and equal honesty, and in one perspective; to recapture some thing Of the colour and movement Of life, using imagination to interpret the data, and controlling it by them; to follow the con?ict of ideals, not in the abstract, but as they show themselves in character and personality; and in this way to discover where lay the living force that changed the thoughts and lives Of men, and what it was; these have been the aims Of the writer, - impossible, but worth attempting. So far as they have been achieved, the book is relevant to the reader.
