(pp.22-23). A myth of the ?decline of the Church? was created and employed by these Christian critics (?.). In the second (?) essay Brown seeks to weaken the persuasive power of the narrative of Christianization generated by Christians and pagans alike, to wit, the unholy alliance between authoritarian legislation and a triumphant groundswell of Christian intolerance. (?) In the final essay, Brown revisits familial territory - the ?Lives' of the Christian holy men (?). Here Brown seeks to explain their overall significance for contemporaries and their relative importance in relation to other forms of religious activity. Once again Brown places the evidence in a bride social and religious frame, to recover the story that the ?Lives? were written, in large part, to eclipse. The holy men emerged not as champions of a triumphant and intransigent faith, but as brokers of ...

ISBN10: 0521595576, ISBN13: 9780521595575, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Softcover The Christianization of the Roman world lies at the root of modern Europe. Peter Brown's fascinating study examines the factors that proved decisive and the compromises that made the emergence of the Christian conception of existence possible: how the old gods of the Roman Empire could be reinterpreted as symbols to further the message of the Church. Peter Brown also shows how Christian holy men were less representative of a triumphant faith than negotiators of a working compromise between the new faith and traditional ways of dealing with the supernatural worlds.
