Romans + Christianity

[Restitvtvs]

Reference to the spread of Christianity as a force in the Empire, try Robin Lane Fox, Pagans and Christians, ISBN 0-394-55495-7. It's 1989 vintage but still a definitive work on the subject.

So far, the only other works besides "Pagans & Christians", that have generally good reader's reviews, are three by Ramsay MacMullen:

I found two more possibilities:

"The Early Church" (Hist of the Church), by Henry Chadwick, 1993.
