Abstract "The 'triumph' of Christianity (100-450 CE) must be disaggregated into three distinct phenomena: the rise to political hegemony of Christianity's religious experts; the acknowledgment of its ontological reality among the set of available religious cosmologies; and the discrete use of its signs in the basic mode of religion"-- Provided by publisher.
