Description: This book offers a detailed investigation into the origins and practices of the early Catholic Church. The author meticulously traces the influence of pre-Christian philosophers, particularly Plato, on the development of Catholic doctrine and ritual. The book also explores the complex relationship between the early Church and the pagan world, highlighting the ways in which pagan beliefs and practices were adopted and adapted by the new religion. Through a careful examination of historical sources, the author unravels the gradual transformation of Christianity from a small sect to the dominant religious force in the Roman Empire. This book provides a comprehensive look at the foundational period of Catholicism, shedding light on the factors that shaped its beliefs, practices, and ultimate triumph.
