<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aethelred, post: 2695688, member: 81808&quot;]I think it is important not to confuse the actions of parts of &quot;Christianity&quot; adopted for political reasons by Constantine, with Christianity as a whole. Even in the case of Constantine and his successors, very little of Classical culture was destroyed by them, although there were isolated cases of of cultural vandalism. However, most of the lost Classical culture was lost due to the invasions, sacking and burning by pre-Christian barbarians. The Vandals didn&#039;t lend their name to the word for &quot;ignorant destruction&quot; by chance. It is also true that many of the Classical works that have survived, have only done so because they were preserved by Christian monks and scholars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
