Map endpapers of the Roman Empire at its height. A sweeping intellectual history of the role of wealth in the church in the last days of the Roman Empire. Jesus taught his followers that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Yet by the fall of Rome, the church was becoming rich beyond measure.This is the social history of the vexing problem of wealth in Christianity in the waning days of the Roman Empire. Brown examines the rise of the church through the lens of money and the challenges it posed to an institution that espoused the virtue of poverty and called avarice the root of all evil.
