About this listen

Celebrated religious and social historian Rodney Stark traces the extraordinary rise of Christianity through its most pivotal and controversial moments to offer fresh perspective on the history of the world's largest religion. In The Triumph of Christianity, the author of God's Battalions and The Rise of Christianity gathers and refines decades of powerful research and discovery into one concentrated, concise, and highly accessible volume that explores Christianity's most crucial episodes. The unique format of The Triumph of Christianity allows Stark to avoid dense chronologies and difficult back stories, bringing listeners right to the heart of Christian history's most vital controversies and enduring lessons.

This book is primarily a secular, although positive, look at the growth of Christianity through a lense of history, sociology and policy.

The book is well read, though my one little gripe is one, which in fairness is mentioned by the book, in that it sometimes references figures and charts which are not transcribed.

Great insights into the sociology of Christianity
