Listen "90. Edward Gibbon on the Destruction of Paganism"
Episode Synopsis
We today consider Gibbon's explanation of how the Christians of Constantine's century advanced their faith by taking active measures against paganism. As he makes his case, Gibbon also extends his unflattering portrait of the followers of the new faith, perhaps to weaken their successors in his own day.
