Another great book on this topic is Rodney Stark's The Rise of Christianity https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Christianity-Marginal-Religious-...

Stark is mostly interested in the period of time between Jesus and Constantine and brings a ton of historical and sociological evidence to bear on the question. A really amazing book. Learned a lot about Rome from it.
