Books that Matter: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Episode 8, Enlightenment Skepticism Episode 8, Enlightenment Skepticism.

Streaming video - 2017

Consider just how dangerous Gibbon's sociological treatment of Christianity in Chapters 14 and 15 (while grounding the faith in extremely detailed historical analysis) seemed to most of his readers. Rather than focusing on divine providence, the Decline and Fall documents the human causes behind Christianity's evolution into the dominant ideology of the ancient world.
