Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the gradual conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity from the viewpoint of the intellectual, moral, and religious climate of the time. The author argues that the transformation occurred slowly and subtly over several decades, and was informed by a combination of external factors (strength of the evidence for Christianity, internal factors (the sense of spiritual destitution, the need for a positive creed), and the ultimate political triumph of Constantine. As such, the book sheds light on a pivotal period in the history of religion. It brings to life the spiritual struggles and transformations of influential thinkers during a time when ancient spiritual beliefs were being seriously questioned, offering insights into the origins and development of Christianity.
