"Richard Carrier's deeply researched study of how knowledge of the
natural world was taught as an empirical science in the Roman
Empire is an enlightening contribution to ancient history."
Adrienne Mayor, author, The Poison King and The Amazons
"This book offers an incisive critique of apologists who discredit
pre-Christian paganism for any scientific advances, while crediting
Christianity with furthering science. If anything, it may be the
're-paganization' of Christianity that revived interest in science
in the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance." Hector Avalos, author,
Health Care and the Rise of Christianity and The Bad Jesus
