Review:
I'm a general reader fascinated by the Ancient World, not a historian or scholar. I picked up this book because I'd just finished Fox's highly readable 'The Classical World.'
This book is a 'heavier' read in some ways, but I found it utterly fascinating. The author treats both Pagans and Christians with equal respect, showing the admirable and less-than-admirable characteristics of both. As a Christian reader it gave me a whole new understanding of the world in which the first Christians lived.
The book is never less than scholarly, but even when the going gets heavy, the author throws in little gems that maintain even a general reader's interest. It's also very clear that this book contains a lot of original work and research.
As I read, I frequently found myself scribbling down the title of some work quoted by the author, thinking, 'Oh, that sounds interesting!' As a result, I'm currently reading the fascinating 'Oneirocritica' (Interpretation of Dreams) by Artemidorus, with several other ancient texts on my reading list after that!
The highest praise I can give Pagans and Christians is that, having finished it, I want to read it again as soon as possible and re-enter that weird and wonderful world.
Pagans and Christians is both educational and enjoyable, and I recommend it highly.
