| Zusammenfassung: | In the global marketplace of ideas, few realms spark as much conflict as religion. For millions of people, it is an integral part of everyday life, reflected by a widely divergent supply of practices and philosophical perspectives. Yet, historically, the marketplace has not always been competitive. While the early Common Era saw competition between Christianity, Judaism, and the many pagan cults, Roman Christianity came eventually to dominate Western Europe. Using basic concepts of economic theory, Robert B. Ekelund Jr. and Robert D. Tollison explain the origin and subsequent spread of Roman Christianity, showing first how the standard concepts of risk, cost, and benefit can account for the demand for religion. Then, drawing on the economics of networking, entrepreneurship, and industrial organization, the book explains Christianity's rapid ascent. Like a business, the church developed sound business strategies that increased its market share to a near monopoly in the medieval period. This book offers a fascinating look at the dynamics of Christianity's rise, as well as how aspects the church's structure-developed over the first millennium-illuminate a number of critical problems faced by the church today. |

Like a business, the church developed sound business strategies that increased its market share to a near monopoly in the medieval period. This book offers a fascinating look at the dynamics of Christianity's rise, as well as how aspects the church's structure-developed over the first millennium-illuminate a number of critical problems faced by the church today.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Church history</subfield><subfield code="y">Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025620</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Church history</subfield><subfield code="y">Middle Ages, 600-1500.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025625</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Christianity</subfield><subfield code="x">Economic aspects.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh96003720</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Église</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire</subfield><subfield code="y">ca 30-600 (Église primitive)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Église</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire</subfield><subfield code="y">600-1500 (Moyen Âge)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">RELIGION</subfield><subfield code="x">Christian Church</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">RELIGION</subfield><subfield code="x">Christianity</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Christianity</subfield><subfield code="x">Economic aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Church history</subfield><subfield code="x">Middle Ages</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Church history</subfield><subfield code="x">Primitive and early church</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Wirtschaftliche Lage</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4248362-1</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Wirtschaftsmacht</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4079347-3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">30-1500</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Tollison, Robert D.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80082541</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Economic origins of Roman Christianity (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGk99mpkpbqRxBYXFqWmBd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Ekelund, Robert B.

Ekelund, Jr. and Robert D. Tollison. Chicago ; London : University of Chicago Press, 2011. 1 online resource (xiii, 269 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-255) and index. Roman Christianity: an evolving monopoly -- Religion, history and social science -- Economics of religious belief -- Entrepreneurship, networking, and the success of early Christianity -- Constantine and Rome's acceptance of Christianity -- The drive to church monopoly power: Constantine to Charlemagne -- Roman Christian monopoly in the early medieval period -- The Roman church monopoly triumphant. In the global marketplace of ideas, few realms spark as much conflict as religion. For millions of people, it is an integral part of everyday life, reflected by a widely divergent supply of practices and philosophical perspectives. Yet, historically, the marketplace has not always been competitive. While the early Common Era saw competition between Christianity, Judaism, and the many pagan cults, Roman Christianity came eventually to dominate Western Europe. Using basic concepts of economic theory, Robert B. Ekelund Jr. and Robert D. Tollison explain the origin and subsequent spread of Roman Christianity, showing first how the standard concepts of risk, cost, and benefit can account for the demand for religion. Then, drawing on the economics of networking, entrepreneurship, and industrial organization, the book explains Christianity's rapid ascent. Like a business, the church developed sound business strategies that increased its market share to a near monopoly in the medieval period. This book offers a fascinating look at the dynamics of Christianity's rise, as well as how aspects the church's structure-developed over the first millennium-illuminate a number of critical problems faced by the church today.
