This book contains a slightly expanded and revised version of the four Carl Newell Jackson Lectures that the author, Peter Brown, delivered at Harvard University in April 1976. Professor Brown presents a history of Roman society in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th centuries. He interprets the changes in social patterns and religious thought in an attempt to break away from conventional modern images of the period.

The lectures included are: A Debate on the Holy / An Age of Ambition / The Rise of the Friends of God / From the Heavens to the Desert: Anthony and Pachomius
