Prof Carole Cusack, a professor in Religious Studies at The University of Sydney, shares her research on the shift into Christianity and the loss of indigenous European traditions, which were then referred to as "pagan" traditions. We explore some of how Christianity was brought, sometimes violently, to Europe, and the subsequent shifts in spiritual, cultural, political, and geographical imagination. This is immensely significant in understanding subsequent patterns of colonization and Christianization.
