520 _aAfter supplanting the traditional pagan cults of the Roman Empire, Christianity became the dominant religion of Western Europe, converting the barbarian invaders of the empire to its own faith.

How it did so, together with its struggle to preserve its autonomy from the power of secular rulers, are the central themes of this book.
