The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World is a 2017 book by Catherine Nixey. In the book, Nixey argues that early Christians deliberately destroyed classical Greek and Roman cultures and contributed to the loss of classical knowledge.[1][2] The book was an international bestseller, was translated into 12 languages and was a New York Times Notable Book of 2018. The New York Times called it a “ballista-bolt of a book”.[1] The book received positive reviews from academics such as Peter Frankopan, professor of Global History at Oxford University,[3] Tim Whitmarsh, professor of Greek culture at Cambridge University,[4] and others who praised its style and originality. It received criticism from some scholars of late antiquity and the Middle Ages, who accused it of telling a simplistic, polemical narrative and exaggerating the extent to which early Christians suppressed aspects of older Greek and Roman cultures.[5]
