Dollimore on Christianity

As I suspected, Dollimore gives Christianity’s cultural influence short shrift. He has a lot of insightful things to say about the ancients, but then he sees almost total continuity through early Christianity ?Ethe same links of desire and death, the same kind of anguish in the face of mutability. Maybe I missed something but by my reading he goes through a chapter on the early Christian view of death without ONCE mentioning the resurrection. He reads Augustine as if Augustine had never heard the gospel. And then, before the chapter is over, he’s on to Buddhism, and then jumps to the Renaissance. As a result his book is going to be deeply skewed.
