From around A.D.300, European patterns of marriage and kinship were turned on their heads. The author challenges some fundamental assumptions with his view that Christian Europe broke from its past and developed, in the northern Mediterranean a distinctive, but not undifferentiated kinship system, due to the role of the church in acquiring property formerly held by domestic groups.
