Publisher's Synopsis
The Rise of Christendom is a historical account written by Edwin Johnson and first published in 1890. The book traces the origins and growth of Christianity from its humble beginnings as a small sect in the Middle East to its eventual dominance as the official religion of the Roman Empire and beyond. Johnson explores the political, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the rise of Christianity, including the influence of charismatic leaders, the spread of the gospel through missionary work, and the adoption of Christianity by the ruling classes. The book also examines the challenges faced by early Christians, such as persecution and doctrinal disputes, and the ways in which they overcame these obstacles to establish a lasting legacy. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources and scholarly research, The Rise of Christendom is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant developments in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
