This 1998 study explains the rise of the early great Christian churches, which from the fourth century were paid for and often decorated in gold in apparent contradiction to Christ's message of poverty and simplicity. Theories of imagery and allegory are used to enable us to understand the textual and artistic legacy of the age.
