This is the first comprehensive study of the history of Asia Minor
in antiquity to be written for nearly fifty years and the first
attempt to treat Anatolian history as a whole over the millennium
from the time of Alexander the Great to tbe hey-day of the
Byzantine Empire. This second volume examines the rise of
Christianity: Anatolian religious beliefs and practices provides
fertile ground where both Jewish and Christian communities set down
early roots; by the mid third century AD much of Anatolia was
Christian, and Christian beliefs and practices shaped Anatolian
history in Late Antiquity as decisively as the conditions of
imperial rule had done in the high Roman Empire. Two relationships
dominated every aspect of Asia Minor's history: that of the people
to the land, and that of men to the gods. An enormous quantity of
information derived from written sources, archaeological remains,
inscriptions and coins make it possible to explore these
relationships at a level of detail which is hardly possible for
anyother part of the ancient world. Both themes have a significance
which reached far beyond the boundaries of Anatolia.
