(Lovick and Marshall) These foundations initially led him to becoming a Baptist Minister in the small country town of Weyburn in Saskatchewan in 1930. However not quite 26 years old, while at Weyburn and seeing the sick and the old suffer greatly under capitalism, particularly during the Great Depression, Douglas wanted to do more for them than he felt he could as a pastor.…

    Rodney Stark's The Rise Of Christianity

    The Rise of Christianity by Rodney Stark offers a sociological view of the growth of Christianity during the first four centuries A.D. The book provides a new perspective on how Christianity won the West. According to Stark, early church historians and the New Testament itself claimed that Christianity grew in number despite an unsuccessful plight to the Jewish population of Rome. Stark rejects many of conventional claims such as this one, and claims that Christianity grew rapidly because of miraculous demonstrations that drew large numbers of converts. Mr. Stark uses a quantitative approach to explain his theories on how Christians could have gained so many converts without miraculous methods.…
