Book Overview
The "marvelous" (Reza Aslan, bestselling author of Zealot ), New York Times bestselling story of how Christianity became the dominant religion in the West. How did a religion whose first believers were twenty or so illiterate day laborers in a remote part of the empire became the official religion of Rome, converting some thirty million people in just four centuries? In The Triumph of Christianity , early Christian historian Bart D. Ehrman weaves the rigorously-researched answer to this question "into a vivid, nuanced, and enormously readable narrative" (Elaine Pagels, National Book Award-winning author of The Gnostic Gospels ), showing how a handful of charismatic characters used a brilliant social strategy and an irresistible message to win over hearts and minds one at a time. This "humane, thoughtful and intelligent" book ( The New York Times Book Review ) upends the way we think about the single most important cultural transformation our world has ever seen--one that revolutionized art, music, literature, philosophy, ethics, economics, and law.

From cult to main
Published by walter Ko , 4 years ago
Prof. Ehrman writes in details in his scholarly work in tracing how a Jewish cult developed into a world major region. Rabbi Jesus dedicated his life for humanity against brutal colonialism and injustice for his homeland. How a man born of a woman become God, whom he never proclaimed in the Gospels. It finally conquered Holy Roman Empire and try to spread the good news. Now, the modern Christ followers joined in the Five Eyes and ignite war fires around the world in the name of God, human right and freedom. Jesus weep!
