The Darkening Age

Catherine Nixey's The Darkening Age explores the largely overlooked and shocking history of how Christianity, as it became the dominant faith of the Roman Empire, actively targeted and destroyed the pagan traditions, philosophies, and artistic achievements of the Classical world. The book offers a compelling look at the violent and intolerant measures taken to erase previous beliefs and knowledge, transforming the cultural landscape of the era. Recognized as a provocative and influential account, it has received numerous awards and commendations from critics and readers alike.
