About This Item
New York: Henry Holt & Company, 1997. Book. As New. Hard. First American Edition (stated).. The author weaves a fascinating look at the evolution of Christianity from paganism over the eons. Christianity did not develop quickly nor was it widespread. It was a gradual change with its inception in the Mediterranean Sea area. Christianity represented not only a change in religious beliefs it also triggered cultural changes, the rise of Latin literacy and the advent of books. The impact of the transition from Barbarism to Christianity impacts modern society even today. Book is clean and tight - the only discernable flaw is the 1 ½ inch notch missing from the back flyleaf. The dust jacket is not price clipped and is in fine condition except for the small microtear at the bottom of the spine and the slight curling on the top end; 562 Pages including index, Further Reading, maps, plates, preface and Notes Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
