The Author Archive PodcastCatherine Nixey - Heresy : Jesus Christ and other sons of GodAs the American President declares that he has been saved by God to make his country great again, I find it impossible not to wonder about the precise nature of the deity that he professes to believe in. Are Donald and his advisers familiar with the writings that are the basis of his religion?
This book by Catherine Nixey is terrific - its a revelation and it's now available in paperback format.

The Podcast For InquiryENCORE - The Christian Destruction of the Classical World with Catherine NixeyCatherine Nixey is the author of The Darkening Age, which documents how early Christians burned texts, defaced or demolished statues, and became increasingly intolerant of any thought or behaviour that deviated from their interpretation of Scripture. Catherine and Leslie discuss religious pluralism in the Roman Empire and how it changed after the Emperor Constantine’s conversion to Christianity - and why Christianity, despite its similarity to many other cults that arose at that time. It is a rare book that is well-researched, engrossing, on an interesting topic, and superbly written, but The Darkening Age is all of these.

The Historylogy PodcastHeresy written by Catherine Nixey - Book ReviewIn the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. Among them were Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who made the blind see; gentle, long-haired Apollonius, who raised the dead and Zalmoxis, who promised his followers eternal life.But as Christianity spread across the Mediterranean, these other saviours were pronounced unacceptable – and in some cases heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story. It is a story of contingency, chance and plurality; it is a stor...

El Imperio romano se había mostrado generoso acogiendo nuevas creencias, pero la llegada del cristianismo lo cambió todo. Esta nueva religión, pese a predicar la paz, era violenta, despiadada y decididamente intolerante. Al volverse oficial, sus fervientes seguidores emprendieron la aniquilación de quienes no estuvieran en sintonía con sus creencias. Derribaron sus altares y t...
