Roger Pearse (http://www.tertullian.org/) has opened a new web site, devoted to the ancient cult of Mithras. You will find it here. The most useful page is this one, in which Roger refutes several theories about Christian borrowings from Mithraism, which are too often repeated by people with an anti-Christian agenda.
What I particularly like about Roger's pages, is this. In western society, about one third of the population has a higher education. When ancient history is explained to a larger audience, this group is usually ignored, which makes these people increasingly sceptical and willing to believe quack historical theories. Roger addresses exactly this group. We need to have a lot more websites like these.
