A World Full of Gods: The Strange Triumph of Christianity

"Keith Hopkins takes us on a time-machine back into the ancient world to explore the emergence of Christianity in the Roman Empire. As the third millennium approaches, which for many people marks the birth of Christ 2000 years ago, Hopkins has written a readable and entertaining account of early Christianity which challenges our perceptions about what the religion was really like in its early stages, about Jesus, and about the way history is written."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
