But what is the sense-development of the English word ? The Latin paganus was used in many senses. From which of these senses was " pagan," in the sense of heathen, derived 1 Two answers have been given to this question. The usual answer is that the English meaning of " pagan " is derived directly from paganux, in the sense of " villager, countryman." So in the ' Oxford Dictionary ' says Dr. Murray, who remarks that the derived sense of "heathen" "indicates the fact that the ancient idolatry lingered on in the villages and hamlets after Christianity had been generally accepted in the towns and cities of the Roman Empire," and quotes in support of this view a passage from Orosius, "Ex locorum agrestium coinpitis et pagis pagani vocantur." This explanation is rejected by many modern ecclesiastical historians—for example, by Harnack and Zahn (see Bigg's lectures on ' The Church's Task,' 1905, p. 42). The other answer is that our "pagan" is directly derived from jxifranus, in the sense of " a civilian " as opposed to " a soldier,'1 a sense to be found in Pliny, Juvenal, Tacitus, and Tertullian.
