The religious historian and author of God's Battalions delivers an accessible and illuminating account of Christianity's rise in the West.

In The Triumph of Christianity, celebrated sociologist and religious historian Rodney Stark traces the extraordinary rise of Christianity through its most pivotal and controversial moments to offer fresh perspective on the history of the world's largest religion. Stark gathers and distills decades of authoritative research into a concise and highly readable volume that explores Christianity's most crucial episodes.

Stark begins with an overview of the pre-Christian religious landscape before examining how Christianity spread among the Roman Empire's elite -- especially women -- and then expanded throughout Europe. Eschewing dense chronologies, Stark delivers a fascinating and often surprising narrative, bringing readers right to the heart of Christian history's most vital controversies and enduring lessons.
