Heresy written by Catherine Nixey - Book Review

from The Historylogy Podcast · host Shinil Subramanian Payamal

In the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. Among them were Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who made the blind see; gentle, long-haired Apollonius, who raised the dead and Zalmoxis, who promised his followers eternal life.But as Christianity spread across the Mediterranean, these other saviours were pronounced unacceptable – and in some cases heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story. It is a story of contingency, chance and plurality; it is a story about what might have been.Order links of the book 'Heresy: Jesus Christ and the Other Sons of God' below:Amazon India:PaperbackKindleAudibleAmazon USA:PaperbackKindleAudibleFlipkart:PaperbackAnd please don't forget to checkout Historylogy.com for latest book reviews and tidbits from the pages of history.Please feel free to our social media ID's for latest updates.
