本书展现了基督教在古典世界崛起的历史，着重探讨了其以暴力和教条式不容异己为代价、促成黑暗时代降临的惨痛过往。“一部关于基督教崛起的大胆新史，揭示了其激进信徒如何摧毁大片古典文化，将世界拖入思想黑暗时代。在 Harran，当地人拒绝皈依，便惨遭肢解，残肢被悬挂在城镇的主街上。在 Alexandria，狂热分子将年迈的哲学家兼数学家 Hypatia 拽下马车，活活剥皮致死……

……圣经学者，但我（作为一个外行）了解了大量关于基督教的知识，现在也理解得更深了——它是怎么从一个古怪的犹太教派一步步变成罗马帝国的国教的。刚读完 Catherine Nixey 写的《The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World》（黑暗时代：基督教对古典世界的摧毁），里面详细记录了公元 300 到 500 年间基督教徒在欧洲砸毁雕像、神庙和艺术品的历史。同样强烈推荐！
…biblical scholars, but I (as a layperson) learned a lot about Christianity, and now understand it better - how it went from being a weird Jewish sect to the imperial religion of Rome. Just finished The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World by Catherine Nixey, which documents the destruction of statues, temples and artworks by Christians in the years 300-500AD in Europe. Also recommended!
>（比如其中一场表演讲的是罗马对基督徒的迫害，里面基督徒全是大好人，罗马人全是大反派）。想换个视角看这事儿的话，这本还不错：《The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World》，Catherine Nixey 著
>(for example one of the spectacle is about the christians persecutions in Rome, where the christians are the good guide, and the romans are the bad guys). A not bad alternative view on the subject. The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World Catherine Nixey
你应该去看看 Catherine Nixey 写的《The Darkening Age》。一旦基督徒成了大多数，尤其是在君士坦丁大帝之后，迫害的方向就彻底反过来了，变成了基督徒去迫害剩下的异教徒。很多……
You should check out "The Darkening Age" by Catherine Nixey. Once Christians became the majority, and especially after Constantine, the direction of persecutions reversed, and was then by Christians towards the remaining pagans. Many of the…
……宗教很容易被现代资本主义社会深度扭曲——像“成功神学”（prosperity theology）这种东西在我看来简直不可理喻。> 跟以前的状况比起来，基督教其实挺不错了。我推荐读读《The Darkening Age》[1]，去感受一下早期基督教到底有多大破坏力。> 在我看来，极客文化（或者说科技圈文化之类的）普遍非常轻视宗教的价值，而且通常根本没……
…religion can be deeply perverted by the modern capitalist society - something like prosperity theology is an abomination to me. > compared to what came before Christianity was pretty great I recommend The Darkening Age[1] for a sense of just how destructive early Christianity was. > I do see nerd-culture (or tech-culture or whatever) as being broadly very dismissive of the value of religion, and generally having no…
那段时期欧洲的基督教变革也让那里的文明大倒退。参考 Catherine Nixey 的《The Darkening Age》
The Christian revolution around that time in Europe also put civilisation back there. See “The Darkening Age” by Catherine Nixey
> 你应该去看看 Catherine Nixey 写的《The Darkening Age》。千万别浪费时间了：> 她出版社的宣传文案声称，Nixey 的书讲述了“一段鲜为人知——且令人深感震惊的——往事”，即激进的基督教是如何“剿灭……
> You should check out "The Darkening Age" by Catherine Nixey. Please do not waste your time: > Her publisher’s blurb informs us that Nixey’s book tells “the largely unknown – and deeply shocking – story” of how a militant Christianity “extinguished…
