Abstract
Článek usiluje o kritické vyhodnocení přínosu teorií Rodneyho Starka ke studiu raných křesťanství a ostatních náboženství řecko-římské antiky.
Abstract (in English)
This article tries to highlight some problematic views connected with Rodney Stark and his application of religious market model in the context of the late antique world. It seems that: 1) general assessment made by Stark about the character of the religious market of the Roman empire is incorrect (the market is pluralistic, but not unregulated); 2) his theory does not cover full spectrum of potential producers of religious product (especially producers of collective goods of non-exclusive character); 3) his theory excludes firms belonging to the state and city public cults; 4) his statistical evaluations are based on unknown statistical data; 5) there are some opinions in his narrative that appear to be uncritically favoring Christian attitudes and achievements and denigrating the pagan ones, which does not, in my opinion, meet requirements of scientific objectivity and impartiality.
