Description:   Peter Brown explores a revolutionary shift in thinking about the fate of the soul between 250 and 650 CE, showing how the growing influence of money led Church doctrine concerning the afterlife to evolve from speculation to firm reality, and personal wealth in the pursuit of redemption led to extraordinary feats of architecture and acts of generosity. This new relationship to money set the stage for the Church s domination of medieval society.
