description: This work explores the pre-Christian religious background of European peoples to see why they received Christianity more readily than did the peoples of the Middle-East where it originated. The query results in a quest to Babylon, the Black Sea, to St. Athanasius and Attila the Hun, and of course, through the Bible itself in tracing its references. It examines the personae of the gods, the Old Testament, the time of Christ, and the spreading of the Gospel.
