More about the book
In this definitive study, Prudence Jones and Nigel Pennick draw together the fragmented sources of Europe's native religions and establish the coherence and continuity of the Pagan world vision. Challenging a traditional, Christian perspective of history, the authors argue that the modern world owes to ancient Paganism its pluralistic tolerance, its love of the arts, and its respect for empirical method. This innovative and comprehensive history of European Paganism will provide a stimulating, reliable guide to this popular dimension of religious culture.
