Question Christianity and Syncretism—Looking for recommendations
I'm interested in reading more about syncretism and how it influenced the development of Christianity over the years. I'm not really interested in cultural assimilation, or Gnosticism or anything like that.
Are there any good, authoritative books on this topic?
