is probably the single most important turning point in all of
history.
The spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire ultimately brought about
changes in virtually every aspect of life, changes that continue to
affect
the world today. This class will examine the porcess by which the
Christian church grew from a hated and persectuted fringe group to
become
the single most powerful force within the Roman Empire. Readings
will include the New Testament and Eusebius of Caesarea's History
of
the Church.
