Benko proposes to give the pagans the benefit of the doubt and analyzes their charges against Christianity under the premise that they may have been right within the context of the times. He has provided a persuasively argued and refreshing--if controversial--perspective on the confrontation of the pagan and early Christian worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9.08 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 27, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42563746431072,"sku":"9780253203854","price":41.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/azMxOGYxVkMxVG9Uc1U0Nzh3TCtCdz09.webp?v=1770414928","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/pagan-rome-and-the-early-christians-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
