Characteristics of Christian religion:

2) scripture (writings) as basis of Christian identity: Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John Epistles (letters): especially those of Paul
3) egalitarian: ignore distinctions of “slave” vs “free”
4) communal: social support for poor, widowsrituals define who belongs: Baptism, Communion
260-302 period of toleration of Christians
303-305 persecutions of Diocletian
