![Page 37: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Spread of Christianity

molded Jesus’ teachings into a new religion called Christianity

for humanity’s sins
![Page 38: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

were welcome as Christians

religion called Christianity

Christianity spread quickly due to roads, numerous trade routes, and common language
throughout the Roman Empire; the peaceful time of Pax Romana made travel safe for those
spreading Jesus’ teachings
![Page 41: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

![Page 42: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

![Page 43: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Persecution of Jews and ChristiansChristians who were executed were honored
by other Christians as
martyrs, those who sacrifice their lives for their beliefs
This only helped spread
Christianity
![Page 45: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

![Page 46: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
ORGANIZATION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
The early Christians organized a hierarchy
of leadership
Priests were supervised by regional bishops; the
overall head of the Church was the Pope
Popes later operated from the city of Rome
(and still do to this day)
![Page 47: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
ORGANIZATION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Teachings that the Christians believed in (Jesus’ teachings as well as some of Judaism) were
collected into one official text called the Bible
![Page 48: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
CHRISTIANITY BECOMES RECOGNIZED
Despite Roman efforts to suppress it, Christianity spread throughout the
Roman Empire and gained popularity In the year 312 CE,
Emperor Constantine made Christianity legal
after recognizing that the Christian religion was
becoming the dominant one in his empire
![Page 49: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
CHRISTIANITY BECOMES RECOGNIZED
Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, a ruling
that gave freedoms and equality to Christians
within the Roman Empire In the year 395 CE,
Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of the
Roman Empire
![Page 50: The ancient Romans were mainly influenced by this culture. A.Persian B.Chinese C.Carthaginian D.Greek #1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e8e5503460f94b9145f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
DID CHRISTIANITY LEAD TO THE
FALL OF ROME?Some historians think
that Christianity helped lead to Rome’s fall
Romans spent more time thinking of the afterlife than the here and now
As a result, the Christianized Romans were unprepared for the invaders who eventually
conquered the Roman Empire
