"Paganism Surviving in Christianity" by Abram Herbert Lewis is a historical analysis written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the persistence of pagan influences within Christianity, exploring how these remnants have shaped the development of Christian practices and beliefs. Through a systematic examination, it aims to uncover the complex interplay between early Christianity and the surrounding pagan cultures." "At the start of the work, the author emphasizes the necessity of understanding the distinct contexts of early Christianity compared to later forms of the faith. Lewis argues that modern interpretations often project contemporary beliefs onto the ancient Christian experience, leading to misconceptions. He explores the historical struggle between adherence to original Christianity and the corrupting effects of pagan practices, asserting that a strong pagan influence was already evident in the Christianity of the third through fifth centuries. By citing various historical figures and their critiques, Lewis sets the stage for a deeper examination of how pagan rituals and philosophies have infiltrated Christian doctrines and customs."
