Book: The Rise of Christianity

The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few CenturiesThe Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries by Rodney Stark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fascinating. It is academic, well researched and thorough, yet very accessible. I highly recommend this to anyone even casually interested in the subject. Sheds much light on the validity (or lack thereof) of the "Christian" church we experience in Western culture today.
