Review: THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE by Peter Brown

Brown's book is a thorough, scholarly look at wealth, Christianity, and the Roman Empire, and the complex relationships between them in the early centuries AD. It's a big subject, and it makes for a big book 

It's not written in a popular style, but it's also not so scholarly it's incomprehensible. Brown has a well-honed style that is suited to this material; I won't lie and say it was always fascinating, but I was never bored.

This was a very important period in history, and if you can handle the length of the book, I recommend it.
