Product Description
From the Crucifixion to the coming of the Crusades, Christianity: The First Thousand Years traces the rise of one of the world's great religions. Scholars explore the intertwined fates of the Roman Empire and the faith it first persecuted, then later adopted. Theologians reveal how the New Testament was shaped, how pagan festivals were transformed into Christian holidays and how modern discoveries shed new light on the dawn of Christianity.
Part II, Church and Empire
For over 300 years, Christians were the target of violence and hatred in the Roman Empire. That changed overnight-literally-when the Emperor Constantine saw a vision of Jesus in a dream; the religion had gained its single most important convert.
