"The Darkening Age" by Catherine Nixey explores the dramatic and often destructive rise of Christianity during the late Roman Empire. The book delves into how the Christianization of the Roman world led to the suppression of classical culture, art, and philosophy. Nixey examines the destruction of pagan temples, the censorship of ancient texts, and the violent persecution of those who adhered to traditional Roman beliefs. Blending meticulous research with compelling storytelling, the author challenges the common narrative of Christianity as a purely enlightening force, revealing a darker side of its early history. This thought-provoking work sheds light on a pivotal era that shaped Western civilization, offering readers a nuanced perspective on the cultural and intellectual transformation of the ancient world.
