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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Benko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.00w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253203854","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39946296033395,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_accef143-9b92-459a-9f60-0715da9b081e.jpg?v=1648313272","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/pagan-rome-and-the-early-christians-9780253203854","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
