How the Catholic Church Baptized the Pagan World
Catholics and non-Catholics of the 21st century who live in the remnants of the Judeo-Christian world might take many of their approaches to concepts such as Time or Death as something common and easily deduced. However, as the world starts shifting back towards a certain modern Paganism, it is time to inform ourselves of the diverging philosophical views regarding such concepts. What views did the early Christian philosophers have to engage with and deconstruct in order to preach Christ to the world? How did the Church reach such understandings of the world, and what does it mean for us in a time when all our beliefs are being questioned? Join us to delve into various Pagan cultures and objectively discuss their encounter with Christianity.
