Pagan City and Christian Capital

Pagan City and Christian Capital

John R Curran

Oxford University Press

This title breaks away from notions of religious conflict between Christians and pagans, to focus on a number of approaches to the Christianization of Rome. It surveys laws and political considerations, and the conflict between Christians over "real" Christianity.

Pagan Rome and the Early Christians

Pagan Rome and the Early Christians

Stephen Benko

Indiana University Press
1986
pokkari
As perceived by the average Roman citizen, the early rites and behavior of Christians laid them open to charges of cannibalism, immorality, and the practice of magic and conspiring and fomenting rebellion aganst the state. The early church fathers rejected these accusations and portrayed pagans as victims of misinformation or perpetrators of ill will. Benko proposes to give the pagans the benefit of the doubt and analyzes their charges against Christianity under the premise that they may have been right within the context of the times. He has provided a persuasively argued and refreshing—if controversial—perspective on the confrontation of the pagan and early Christian worlds.

Pagan Britain

Pagan Britain

Ronald Hutton

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
pokkari
Britain's pagan past, with its mysterious monuments, atmospheric sites, enigmatic artifacts, bloodthirsty legends, and cryptic inscriptions, is both enthralling and perplexing to a resident of the twenty-first century. In this ambitious and thoroughly up-to-date book, Ronald Hutton reveals the long development, rapid suppression, and enduring cultural significance of paganism, from the Paleolithic era to the coming of Christianity. He draws on an array of recently discovered evidence and shows how new findings have radically transformed understandings of belief and ritual in Britain before the arrival of organized religion. Setting forth a chronological narrative, along the way Hutton makes side visits to explore specific locations of ancient pagan activity. He includes the well-known sacred sites—Stonehenge, Avebury, Seahenge, Maiden Castle, Anglesey—as well as more obscure locations across the mainland and coastal islands. In tireless pursuit of the elusive “why” of pagan behavior, Hutton astonishes with the breadth of his understanding of Britain’s deep past and inspires with the originality of his insights.

Pagan Heat

Pagan Heat

Monica Belle

Black Lace

pokkari
For Sophie Page, the job of warden at Elmcote Hall is a dream come true. The beauty of the old house and the overgrown grounds speaks to her love of nature. As a venue for weddings, films and exotic parties the Hall draws curious and intersting people, including the handsome Richard Fox and his friends - who are equally alluring and more puzzling still. Sophie suspects that Fox is responsible for the sexually charged events taking place by night in the woods around the Hall. However, he is only carrying on a tradition; Elmcote's Victorian owner - the eccentric occultist, Elgar Vaughan - used the grounds for Dionysian sex rituals, and now it's Sophie's turn to find out just how much fun can be had with the old ways of worship.

Pagan Virtues

Pagan Virtues

Stephen Dunn

WW Norton Co
2022
nidottu
In this meditative and incisive collection, Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Dunn draws on themes of morality and mortality to explore the innermost machinations of human nature. Shifting in tone but never wavering in their essential honesty, these poems reflect on desire, restraint and the roles we play in an ever-evolving society. A stunning sequence on the relationship between the speaker and “Mrs. Cavendish” examines an intimacy sustained and repelled by politics, philosophy and attraction. Wide-ranging, intellectually daring and wry, Pagan Virtues reminds us of Dunn’s penetrating eye for the universal and the specific, and his ability to highlight our contradictions with tenderness and wit.

Pagan Celtic Ireland

Pagan Celtic Ireland

Barry Raftery

Thames Hudson Ltd
1997
nidottu
Our established impressions of early Celtic Ireland have come down to us through the great Irish myths and sagas, yet how do these images compare with archaeological evidence? The author seeks to present a comprehensive and lucid account of the Irish Iron Age. He discusses advances that took place in travel and transport; the common people; the local metalsmiths; and the religious beliefs exemplified by standing stones and offerings in lakes and rivers. New material is examined on Ireland's contact with the Roman world and the final chapter reviews whether La Tene culture was spread to Ireland through invasion or diffusion.

Pagan and Christian in an Age of Anxiety

Pagan and Christian in an Age of Anxiety

E. R. Dodds

Cambridge University Press
1991
pokkari
Interest in the world of Late Antiquity is currently undergoing a significant revival, and in this provocative book, now reissued in paperback, E. R. Dodds anticipated some of the themes now engaging scholars. There is abundant material for the study of religious experience in late antiquity, and through it Professor Dodds examines, from a sociological and psychological standpoint, the personal religious attitudes and experiences common to pagans and Christians in the period between Marcus Aurelius and Constantine. He looks first at general attitudes to the world and the human condition before turning to specific types of human experience. World-hatred and asceticism, dreams and states of possession, and pagan and Christian mysticism are all discussed. Finally Dodds considers both pagan views of Christianity and Christian views of paganism as they emerge in the literature of the time. Although primarily written for social and religious historians, this study will also appeal to all those interested in the ancient world and its thought.

Paean to Apollo

Paean to Apollo

Peter Smith

Lulu.com
2010
pokkari
This slender, full-color volume--a work of art in itself--contains a gorgeous litany of ancient hymns to Apollo that are specifically chosen for their power to speak to the 21st Century mind. The impact that this "god to whom all Olympians bowed," and to whom we have owed, and continue to owe, so much, is simultaneously straightforward and enigmatic. Who is he today? Regardless, take the journey with this practice and sublime litany and see where you are taken. (55 pages)
