About this product
Product Information
How did a tiny messianic movement on the edge of the Roman Empire become the dominant faith of Western civilization? In this provocative and highly readable book, acclaimed sociologist of religion Rodney Stark challenges conventional wisdom by finding that Christianity succeeded because it offered a better, more secure way of life to its followers. Digging deep into the historical evidence and drawing on insights about the appeal of contemporary religion, this classic book shows that early Christianity attracted the privileged rather than the poor and that most early converts were women or marginalized Jews. The result is a vivid, multifaceted, and original account of the rise of Christianity.

Stark uses contemporary social-scientific data, about why people join new religious movements and how religions recruit members, to investigate the formative history of Christianity. . . . Stark's conclusion that the rapid rise of early Christianity was due mainly to high fertility rates and social policies rather than to faith in the messianic message of Jesus is likely to generate spirited argument., "Brilliant. . . . 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." ---Kenneth L. Woodward, Newsweek, This book is an exciting and important addition to the literature on early Christianity. . . . It is a book of fascinating detail, yet its broad sociological assumptions will intrigue any person interested in church growth. It will challenge common theological assumptions. But, its creative and persuasive insights also will engage the thoughtful person. It is a very significant book., This book raises, simply and brilliantly, just the kinds of questions anyone concerned with early Christianity should ask.
