Beginning with the death of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, in A.D. 14, and ending with the death of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, in A.D. 337, this masterful study of early Christianity brings to life the religious, political, and cultural developments through which the faith of a Jewish sect became the religion of the Roman emperor. First published in 1970, Grant's classic is enhanced with a new foreword by Margaret M. Mitchell, which assesses its importance and demonstrates the new research directions to which the volume first pointed.

Industry Reviews

""Grant takes us on a tour of sanctuaries and streets, altars and alleys, and provides a sense of immediate experience despite the passing centuries."
