The Early Christian World

Christianity is originally from Judea. Romans disagreed with the ideas of

Christianity and tried to put an end to it. Teachings were to only be spread/taught to

Jews. In the effort to spread their beliefs many

Christians were arrested or killed. Emperor Constantine was the main person

who encouraged Christianity to become the official religion of Rome
