"If you're interested in a scholarly yet accessible history of the early Christian world, this is a great place to start. Peter Brown is one of my favorite historians, and seeing his name on a syllabus always makes me smile. This particular volume is full of beautiful photographs, making it very easy to imagine Mediterranean life in the years surrounding the fall of the Roman Empire."
"Peter Brown's World of Late Antiquity took many American scholars by storm with his iconoclastic claims. According to Brown, Rome's supposed "fall" wasn't nearly as catastrophic as had usually been thought. This re-introduction of the Pirenne-thesis forced historians to re-evaluate their preconceived notions of when Rome fell and the Middle Ages began. Although this book was influential, the claims and interpretation of data are less than satisfying to most modern scholars. A more useful treatment of the period is given in Ward-Perkins' The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization which utilizes actual material evidence to bolster its claims."
"An interesting essay more than a book. Mr. Brown discusses the development of two empires in what was one Roman Empire, the root causes of Christianity's spread in both and this, of course leads to the success of Islam in much of the region. The book does not totally answer some of my questions but did a good job overall and created some new thoughts for me to research--the major ones dealing with the rise of christianity and the whys of it."
