The first 400 years after the death of Christ saw huge developments & changes in the emerging faith. Christianity spread from Jerusalem to much of the known world; it became the official religion of the British empire; its key texts were written & its core ideas & beliefs were shaped & formalized. Much of this happened under huge pressure, from both within & without. Jonathan Hill charts the fascinating history of this crucial period in the development of Christianity. He shows how & why certain ideas triumphed over others; introduces the key figures, both within the faith & among its opponents, & their intellectual struggles; covers the main battles, often bitterly fought, both of ideas & of weapons; describes the lives of ordinary Christians & their worship & how each influenced the other. Occassionally murky, often thrilling & always compelling, the story Hill tells recounts the ways in which a new religion
- centred on a single man arbitrarily executed in the Roman Middle East
- first struggled, & then spread, to become the dominant belief system of the world.
