4 ways Christianity spread in Roman Empire

Mashutka [201]

The spread of Christianity was made a lot easier by the efficiency of the Roman Empire, but its principles were sometimes misunderstood and membership of the sect could be dangerous.

Although Jesus had died, his message had not. Word of his teachings spread to Jewish communities across the empire. This was helped by energetic apostles, such as Paul and by the modern communications of the Roman Empire.

Spreading the word

Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10,000 miles, traveling across the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire’s most important cities. Although places like Ephesus, Philippi, Corinth and Athens looked magnificent, they were also home to tens of thousands of poor, desperate people who were the perfect audience for the Christian message of eternal life.

Like Jesus, Paul spoke to people in their homes and synagogues. But he went beyond Jesus, who had only preached to Jews. Paul believed his message should also be taken to gentiles – the non-Jews.

Relaxing the rules

This meant taking a more relaxed approach to ancient Jewish laws about food and circumcision. It was a slap in the face for Jewish tradition, but it was also the central reason for the rapid spread of Christianity.

As the Christian movement began to accept non-Jewish members, it moved further away from the strict rules imposed on Jews. In so doing, it gradually became a new and separate religion.

An easy target

Despite its growing popularity, Christianity was sometimes misunderstood and membership could bring enormous risks. Widely criticized after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, the Emperor Nero tried to divert attention away from his own failings by providing an easy scapegoat: the Christians.

Although the followers of Jesus were working hard to spread the message, there were still very few Christians in Rome. They were regarded with suspicion. Some important Christian rituals were mistaken as cannibalism, others as incest. Christians became an easy target.

Nero wasted no time. He arrested and tortured all the Christians in Rome, before executing them with lavish publicity. Some were crucified, some were thrown to wild animals and others were burned alive as living torches.

A new approach 

Despite this, Nero's persecution of the new Christian sect was brief and, in the first century at least, was not repeated in other parts of the empire. When asked by Pliny the Younger how to deal with Christians in the Asian provinces, Trajan replied that they should not be actively pursued. However, they could be punished if they were publicly criticized and refused to abandon their beliefs.

Over time, the Christian church and faith grew more organized. In 313 AD, the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which accepted Christianity: 10 years later, it had become the official religion of the Roman Empire.

Determine whether each description applies to the royalists, roundheads, or both

Rom4ik [11]

-Puritans and member of lower classes: The roundheads

-Supporters of Charles I: The royalists (also known as "Cavaliers")

-Fought in the English civil war: Both of them (They were the main two sides on the civil war)

-Wore richly decorated clothing: The royalists (Even though this wasn't the prime objective, they became well known for this)

-Led by Oliver Cromwell: The roundheads.

-Were aristrocats: The royalists

-Emerged victorious in the civil war: The roundheads.

Explanation: The English civil war was a series of three main armed and political conflicts. Before the English civil war and it's outcome, the Parliament of England hadn't had a big influence on the goverment system. In fact, the Parliament didn't have the authority to make any desition and their role was only to advice the King and only after the monarch himself summoned them and even more important, the King had the power to disolve it at his will. This was due to the belief that the monarch is designated by God and, therefore, he's the only one capable of ruling his land.

This historical context provoced that some members of the society, specially puritans and lower class members, started to look for a change. The objective was simple: to give the Parliament the authority to participate and make desitions. They suported the Parliament and the idea of having a role on the goverment desitions, they started to repudiate what they considered to be "royalist" or courtly fashion (to wear decorated clothing, the use of long ringlets, etc.). For this reason they decided not only to wear their common clothes but also to closely crop their hair, therefore, this people, whose leade was Oliver Cromwell, were called "roundheads" by some higher classes in an act of derision.

On the other hand, the royalists supported the King (Charles I) and the idea of absolute power for the monarch, most of them were aristrocats. Both sides adopted the nicknames given by the other side, nicknames that were originated from the mockery ("Roundheads" and "Cavaliers")

The outcome of the civil war was:

- The execution of King Charles I.

- The exile of the King's son.

- The monarch can't gover without the Parliament consent.
