Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paganism and Christianity If any great classical writers of the ancient world, like Seneca or Cicero, could come to life again, nothing surely would astonish them more than the descriptions they might read in our books of the state of the world when they left it, of its moral depravity, and the absence of the religious idea. One would gladly hear what they would say to it all; but, falling that, it only remains to enter as much as possible into their tone of thought, and to present the case between Christianity and Paganism as they might do if they could now speak for themselves, and had at their command eighteen centuries of Church history and all writings of the Fathers and theologians.
