Christianizing the Roman Empire : (A.D. 100-400)
Ramsay MacMullen (Author)
"How did the early Christian church manage to win its dominant place in the Roman world? In his newest book, an eminent historian of ancient Rome examines this question from a secular rather than an ecclesiastical viewpoint. MacMullen's provocative conclusion is that mass conversions to Christianity were based more on the appeal of miracle or the opportunity for worldly advantages than simply on a 'rising tide of Christian piety.'"-- Provided by publisher
