Présentation de l'éditeur
Church. These are in the main two aspects of the same question. If we knew exactly what the Empire was, and what it made of its subjects, we should know also what each individual Christian was, down to the moment of his conversion, and it would then be much easier to discern what change came over the man after his conversion. For the first branch of this investigation there has been made, in recent times, an immense accumulation of material. The great march of public events remains still very much as it appears in the pages of Gibbon. But our knowledge of the causes of the events, which lie deep in the general condition of the people, has been enormously increased by epigraphy, archaeology, and palaeography. On the subject of education, clubs, the imperial finance, the imperial administration, town-government, changes in the army, the gradual intrusion of barbarians into the Empire, the rise and spread of villainage, we know far more than Gibbon, and every one of these is a cause with far-reaching results. Our notions of heathen religion, again, have been largely modified by the labours of M. Cumont and others, by the Egyptologists, and by the inscriptions. All this mass of new information is waiting to be drawn to a focus and appraised by the historian of the Church.
