> And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. Acts 19:19

Sounds like some early Christians (converts?) burned some occult books they had

An AI answer on "Communist Book Burning" (not sure how accurate):

> This practice was widespread in the Soviet Union and other communist states, often aimed at eradicating Western influence, promoting nationalism, and centralizing power. For instance, in the Soviet Union, state-orchestrated councils like Glavlit were tasked with identifying and destroying materials considered "detrimental," "immoral," or "counterproductive" to the revolution.

> During the Cultural Revolution in China, Mao Zedong also ordered the burning of works and books to suppress dissent and maintain control.

tfw they say "only bad Nazis burn books for no reason!!!"
