Kirkens vekst i de første århundrene

Hvordan kunne en obskur, marginal krets av jøder, som forkynte at Jesus var Kristus oppstått fra de døde, i løpet av noen århundrer utvikle seg til å bli den sterkeste religiøse kraften, først i det romerske imperiet, og senere i hele den vestlige verden? Dette spørsmålet blir stilt av den amerikanske religionssosiologen Rodney Stark i boken The Rise of Christianity som utkom for første gang i 1996. Starks fremstilling er fortsatt aktuell for alle som ønsker å forstå mer av hvordan Kirken kunne vokse så sterkt i de første århundrene.
