A historical and cultural survey of the complex and tumultuous period between foundations of the Roman Empire and the sixth century A.D., when medieval culture was established in Europe. Studies the struggle between pagan or classical modes of thought and Judaeo-Christian beliefs and values, and the assimilation of each in the other; and the tension within the Christian movement between spiritual and practical concerns as the new religion came to dominate Western culture.
