Catherine Nixey writes popular history about religion, classical culture and the conflict surrounding the rise of Christianity. The Darkening Age argues that Christianisation involved significant destruction of pagan temples, texts and traditions, while Heretic Lives looks at early Christian groups later condemned as heretical and asks how orthodoxy came to dominate their stories. Nixey writes in a vivid, polemical and narrative style rather than as a neutral textbook author, and some of her interpretations are debated by specialists. Her work fits late antiquity, early Christianity, religious conflict and revisionist popular history. Read more Less
