Rise of Christianity Despite their many gods, Romans are tolerant to other religions, allowing people to worship and practice their native rituals. At this time, Judaea, the old Jewish kingdom, had been conquered by Rome and become a Roman province. Many Jews did not like the Roman rule. They believed that God would come to save Israel from this oppression.

Rise of Christianity A prophet named Jesus arose and believed that his mission was to bring about salvation that God had promised to the Israelites. Many Romans saw Jesus as a revolutionary who stirred controversy and might lead a revolt against Rome. Jesus performed miracles, taught ethical concepts such as humility, charity and love towards others, not strict adherence to Roman law.

The Spread of Christianity The Roman procurator Pontius Pilate would have Jesus put to death by crucifixion. However, his message would carry on. Apostles such as Paul and Peter spread the message that Jesus was the son of God and savior of all mankind. By accepting Jesus as Christ, (Christos is Greek word for Messiah), people could be saved from sin and reconciled with God.

The Triumph of Christianity Despite persecution, Christianity grew in the first century, took root in the second, and by the third it had spread widely.

The Triumph of Christianity The last great persecution was by Diocletian at the beginning of the fourth century. By this time, Christianity had spread so wide that it was hard to blot out by force.

Constantine While battling for control of Rome, Constantine sees a vision of a cross (the symbol for Christians). He places the cross on his soldiers’ shields. Constantine attributes his victory to God and becomes a Christian himself (the first Christian emperor). Constantine issues the Edict of Milan, which officially proclaimed tolerance of Christianity.
