Hard reading for one not currently enrolled in a class where this book would be a mandatory read. Reminded me of St. Augustine's Confessions. Unfortunately, when I finished his book all that I could remember was his blaming himself for everything that was wrong or bad, and praising God for anything that was good. I found both books to be it a bit pendantic and had to force myself to continue reading them.

I stuck with the Pagan Nun because of a couple of the reviews and because I find religious history an interesting subject. The transformation from a Pagan to a Christian Nun ~~~ I think I would rather be the Pagan. In relating the Pagan Nun as an intelligent thinking women, Horsley portrayed what could have been a "real" person.

Well worth plowing through. An interesting read.
