The rise of Christianity up to the victory of Constantine has often
been studied and remains a puzzling phenomenon. In this valedictory
lecture Jan N. Bremmer concentrates on the explanations adduced,
focusing in particular on the works of three iconic figures from
the last two hundred and fifty years: The History of the Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire of Edward Gibbon, the most famous
ancient historian of all time, at the end of the eighteenth
century; Die Mission und Ausbreitung des Christentums of Adolf von
Harnack, the greatest historian of early Christianity of all time,
around 1900, and The Rise of Christianity of Rodney Stark, the most
adventurous sociologist of religion of our times, at the end of the
twentieth century.Bremmer locates their concerns and explanations
within their own times, but also takes them seriously as scholars,
discussing their analyses and approaches. In this way he shows both
the continuities and the innovations in the evolving view which
scholarship presents of early Christianity. Bremmer's exceptional
knowledge of the huge range of scholarship and his humane and
balanced judgment make this lecture the ideal introduction to the
many problems raised by Christianity's displacement of paganism
