But while these groups were clearly outsiders or idolaters, who and what was pagan depended on the outlook of the observer, as Christopher Jones shows in this fresh and penetrating analysis. Treating paganism as a historical construct rather than a fixed entity, Between Pagan and Christian uncovers the ideas, rituals, and beliefs that Christians and pagans shared in Late Antiquity. While the emperor Constantine's conversion in 312 was a momentous event in the history of Christianity, the new religion had been gradually forming in the Roman Empire for centuries, as it moved away from its Jewish origins and adapted to the dominant pagan culture. Early Christians drew on pagan practices and claimed important pagans as their harbingers--asserting that Plato, Virgil, and others had glimpsed Christian truths. At the same time, Greeks and Romans had encountered in Judaism observances and beliefs shared by Christians such as the Sabbath and the idea of a single, creator God. Polytheism was the most obvious feature separating paganism and Christianity, but pagans could be monotheists, and Christians could be accused of polytheism and branded as pagans. In the diverse religious communities of the Roman Empire, as Jones makes clear, concepts of divinity, conversion, sacrifice, and prayer were much more fluid than traditional accounts of early Christianity have led us to believe. 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xPaganism$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aPaganism$xRelations$xChristianity 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xPaganism$xHistory 615 0$aPaganism$xRelations$xChristianity. 676 $a270.1 700 $aJones$b Christopher P$034119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787709203321 996 $aBetween Pagan and Christian$93695859 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03041nam 22006855 450 001 9910552713503321 005 20250604004802.0 010 $a981-19-0852-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-19-0852-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6916337 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6916337 035 $a(CKB)21395739600041 035 $a(PPN)261519492 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-19-0852-1 035 $a(EXLCZ)9921395739600041 100 $a20220309d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBig Data and Security $eThird International Conference, ICBDS 2021, Shenzhen, China, November 26?28, 2021, Proceedings /$fedited by Yuan Tian, Tinghuai Ma, Muhammad Khurram Khan, Victor S.
