Description:s/t: The Rise and Triumph of Christianity in the Roman WorldThis volume traces the rise of the Christian movement in the ancient world of the Roman Empire. It opens with the death of Caesar Augustus, whose reign symbolized the revolution that changed Rome from a republic to a monarchy, & ends with the death of Constantine, whose triumph in 313 led to the proclamation of Christianity as the official relgion of the empire. The emphasis throughout is upon the events & developments in the social & institutional life of the Roman World, with only occasional reference to changes in Christian theology. In fact, one of the limitations of the book may be that the author passes by the opportunity here & again to show how these societal & cultural developments affected the theological & institutional forms which took permanent hold on the Church. The historical account here is orderly, the pace steady though a little tedious at times, & information well supported by documentation. The book should be useful to the student of ancient history as well as of the ancient church for its breadth of information. Interpretations would need to be sought elsewhere.--KirkusWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
