A groundbreaking history of how the Christian "West" emerged from
the ancient Mediterranean world In this acclaimed history of Early
Christendom, Judith Herrin shows how-from the sack of Rome in 410
to the coronation of Charlemagne in 800-the Christian "West" grew
out of an ancient Mediterranean world divided between the Roman
west, the Byzantine east, and the Muslim south. Demonstrating that
religion was the period's defining force, she reveals how the clash
over graven images, banned by Islam, both provoked iconoclasm in
Constantinople and generated a distinct western commitment to
Christian pictorial narrative. In a new preface, Herrin discusses
the book's origins, reception, and influence.
