SERAPIS....is set in Egypt and is about a girl's spiritual conversion which illustrates the conflict between Christianity and Paganism. 485 Pages in print. The conflict of good versus evil!• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, Georg Ebers.The old Heathen cults had completely vanished from the Greek capital long before her death. With it died the splendor and the power of the second city in the world; and of all the glories of the city of "Serapis" nothing now remains but a mighty column—[Known as Pompey's Pillar.]—towering to the skies, the last surviving fragment of the beautiful temple of the sovereign-god whose fall marked so momentous an epoch in the life of the human race. But, like this pillar, outward Beauty—the sense of form that characterized the heathen mind—has survived through the ages. We can gaze up at the one and the other, and wherever the living Truth—the Spirit of Christianity—has informed and penetrated that form of Beauty, our highest hopes have been realized.
