The consequences of becoming a Christian in the early Christian
movemen is set apart from that move from any other religious
affiliation. You could become a Mithraist or Isiac or whatever, and
it made no difference to your previous religious activities and
loyalties. You continued to take part in the worship of your
inherited deities of household, city, nation. But if you became a
Christian you were expected to desist from worship of all other
deities. And the ubiquitous place of the gods in all spheres of
social and political activity made that difficult, and made for
potentially serious consequences if you did desist. Indeed, it made
it difficult to know how you could function socially and
politically (to use our terminology).This book explores the growth
of adherents to early Christianity; that all across this early
period people became adherents of Christianity in the face of the
costs and consequences of doing so.
