Summary
Considers how and why religious belief has had such an immense impact on human history by identifying the roots of belief within societies. O'Grady looks at the whole world during one short period and asks a specific question: why did Christianity grow so quickly and become the predominant world religion? Beginning in Rome, expanding her review to Gaul, Germania, North Africa, the Near East, Persia, and beyond to China, the author sifts through the economic, political, and sociocultural facts to understand why some ideas die and others thrive in a thrilling new work of history
