The Last Pagan: Julian the Apostate and the Death of the Ancient World,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A history of Julian, the grandson of Constantine, and his failed attempt to reverse the Christian tide that swept the Roman Empire Portrays the Apostate as a poetphilosopher, arguing that had he survived, Christianity would have been checked in its rise Details reforms enacted by Julian during his twoyear reign that marginalized Christians, effectively limiting their role in the social and political life of the Empire Shows how after Julians death the Church used paganism to represent evil and opposition to God, a tactic whose traces still lingerThe violent death of the emperor Julian (Flavius Claudius Julianus, AD 332363) on a Persian battlefield has become synonymous with the death of paganism. Vilified throughout history as the Apostate, the young philosopherwarrior was the last and arguably the most potent threat to Christianity.The Last Pagan examines Julians journey from an aristocratic Christian childhood to his initiation into pagan cults and his mission to establish paganism as the dominant faith of the Roman world. Julians death, only two years into his reign, initiated a culturewide suppression by the Church of all things it chose to identify as pagan. Only in recent decades, with the weakening of the Churchs influence and the resurgence of paganism, have the effects of that suppression begun to wane. Drawing upon more than 700 pages of Julians original writings, Adrian Murdoch shows that had Julian lived longer our history and our presentday culture would likely be very different.
