Publisher's Synopsis
""The Remains of Paganism in Christianity"" is a scholarly work by Abram Herbert Lewis that explores the influence of pagan beliefs and practices on Christianity. The book delves into the history of Christianity and examines how pagan ideas, rituals, and symbols were incorporated into Christian doctrine and worship. Lewis argues that many aspects of Christianity that are commonly thought of as purely Christian actually have roots in pagan traditions. He examines the origins of Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter, as well as the use of symbols such as the cross and the halo. The book also explores the impact of pagan philosophy on Christian theology and the role of pagan mythology in Christian art. Overall, ""The Remains of Paganism in Christianity"" provides a fascinating and thought-provoking look at the complex relationship between Christianity and pagan culture.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Paganism Surviving in Christianity, by Abram Herbert Lewis.
