An inestimable work on the history of religions.

Franz Cumont was a brilliant historian. He is recognized as a luminary and an authority in the field of ancient history. His object in this course of lectures shall be limited to showing how oriental astrology and star-worship transformed the beliefs of the Gr co-Latin world, what at different periods was the ever-increasing strength of their influence, and by what means they established in the West a sidereal cult, which was the highest phase of ancient paganism. This learned theology, by including in its speculations the entire world, was to eliminate the narrower forms of belief, and, by changing the character of ancient idolatry, it was to prepare in many respects the coming of Christianity.
