Paganism In Christianity

By Thomas William Doane

Book Overview

Paganism In Christianity is a book written by T.W. Doane that explores the influence of pagan beliefs and practices on the development of Christianity. The author argues that many of the beliefs and rituals of Christianity were borrowed from earlier pagan religions, and that this borrowing has had a profound impact on the way that Christianity has evolved over time. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter, the use of symbols such as the cross and the fish, and the role of women in early Christianity. Doane draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and historical accounts, to support his arguments. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the history of religion. Overall, Paganism In Christianity is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds new light on the complex relationship between Christianity and pagan religions.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions, by T.
