Synopsis
Sociologist Rodney Stark focuses on how a tiny messianic movement on the edge of the Roman Empire became the dominant faith of the Western world. The author's experience and erudition, gained through his previous sociological explorations into why people convert and how religious groups recruit members, enable him to parse the historical evidence in new ways. The result is an account of early Christianity that is as vivid as it is unconventional, one that demonstrates the similarity between Christianity's pattern of growth and those of contemporary religious movements.

Industry Reviews
"A provocative, insightful, challenging account....It is a marvelous exercise in sociological imagination and a warning to those who like simple explanations."
Publisher's Catalog - Andrew Greeley
"This brilliant and highly provocative book will revolutionize the way people think about both biblical studies and church history."
advertisement - Irving Hexham
"Using what is known about contemporary religious cults and the principles of social science, Stark fills many blanks in the historical and archeological records. The result is a fresh, blunt, and highly persuasive account of how the West was won--for Jesus."
Newsweek - Kenneth L. Woodward (08/19/1996)
"Anyone who has puzzled over Christianity's rise to dominance....must read it."
advertisement - Wayne A. Meeks
