The Christian Economy of the Early Medieval West: Towards a Temple Society examines the chronology of the Church's acquisition of wealth, and particularly of landed property, as well as the distribution of its income, in the period between the conversion of Constantine and the eighth century. In this book, the society that emerged as a result of the Church's acquisition of land is interpreted in the light of the anthropological model of the "Temple Society," a concept developed from Karl Marx's so-called "Asiatic Mode of Production." The emergence of a socio-economic system dominated by the Church is presented as a crucial development in the history of western Europe. 517 $aChristian Economy of the Early Medieval West 606 $aChristian life and practice$2bicssc 606 $aChristianity$2bicssc 606 $aEconomic history$2bicssc 606 $aEuropean history$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of religion$2bicssc 606 $aInterlingua$2bicssc 606 $aSociety and Social Sciences$2bicssc 610 $aChurch history;early middle ages;economic history;late antiquity;Mediterranean;religion and power;Temple Society 615 7$aChristian life and practice 615 7$aChristianity 615 7$aEconomic history 615 7$aEuropean history 615 7$aHistory of religion 615 7$aInterlingua 615 7$aSociety and Social Sciences 700 $aWood$b Ian$4auth$0629495 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910887930203321 996 $aThe Christian Economy of the Early Medieval West$94234948 997 $aUNINA
