The Rise of Christianity (Illustrated): Two Chapters from the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire (English Edition)

About The Rise of Christianity:
Our present edition entitled The Rise of Christianity is a presentation of chapters 15 and 16 which Gibbon included in his monumental The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. These two chapters make clear how Christianity superseded the old beliefs of the declining Roman empire. It is a contrasting tale of civilization against barbarism. The new versus the old; theology versus superstition. To break up the pace and density of the chapters, we have added subtitles to the main sections.
