This is just the book I‘m looking for. I can‘t stand books that try to assert that every pre-Christian civilisation is somehow, unknowingly striving for Christianity, and they‘re all relieved when it finally reaches them. 🙄

Bookwomble Are there books like that in the mainstream? Sheesh! Did you see Pryor's TV show based on the book? He's a great presenter - enthusiastic but not annoyingly so. 4y
GingerAntics @Bookwomble here in the state there sure are. I don‘t find them to be highly academic. They tend to ignore any and all evidence that contradicts them (like their reactions to their first contact with Christians or even Christians initial reactions to them) and just act like it doesn‘t exist. I had to read a few in grad school. Luckily the professors seemed to dislike them as much as we did. They usually aren‘t as upfront about their bias. 4y
GingerAntics @Bookwomble I didn‘t know there was a TV show. I‘ll have to check it out. His writing style is quite engaging. I imagine just from that he‘d be interesting to watch. 4y
