This book is an investigation into the relationship between Christianity and the pagan mystery cults that persisted in the Roman Empire after the conversion of the emperor Constantine. Amidst the decline of the Roman Empire between the second and fourth centuries, there was an era of great religious transformation. During this time, many people converted to Christianity, and pagan mystery cults began to be adopted and repackaged by the Christian church. This study explores the similarities and differences between these mystery cults and early Christian rituals, as well as the ways in which the church utilized these cults to facilitate the spread of Christianity. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of religious belief and practice in the ancient world, demonstrating how paganism continued to exert a profound influence on the development of Christianity.
