Read everything you can get your hands on that has anything to do with world religions, world history, Christiantity, and classical philosophy. Also read medieval lit, particularly the Aurthurian stuff. Sorry to be so vague, but it is hard to see connections unless you have a broad background.I have found the Bible extremely informative, and Aristotle. There is a very large but good book called Pagans and Christians by Robin Lane Fox that tackles the mass conversion from a Christain point of view. A good anthology that might help is An Anthology of Scared texts by and About Women by Serenity Young. Other books are out there, but I would start with world history and go from there. Happy hunting!
