Setting the Stage: Religion in Rome PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. The worship of Roman gods was impersonal, practiced without a great deal of emotion. Priests used sacred rituals to intercede on behalf of worshippers. The religion Christianity, was born in Roman times as a movement (or sect) within Judaism, emphasized the personal relationship between God and people. It would attract many Romans seeking “hope” during difficult times in the Roman Empire’s latter 3 centuries. During those difficult times, this new “faith” would spread like wildfire!

REASONS FOR CHRISTIANITY’S WIDE APPEAL embraced all people (universal) – men, women, and slaves, the poor, and nobles. gave hope to the powerless. appealed to those who were repelled by the extravagances of imperial Rome. offered a personal relationship with a loving God. promised a life after death – a promise that gave much hope to those living under harsh circumstances in Rome at the time PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

Persecution of the Christians Christians also posed a problem for Roman rulers because Christians refused to worship Roman gods. This refusal was seen as opposition to Roman rule. In A.D. 64, for example, when the emperor Nero was blamed for a disastrous fire in Rome, he said Christians were responsible and ordered them to be persecuted. Both the apostles Peter and Paul were put to death in Rome some time after A.D. 60. Emperor Nero

Persecution of the Christians Thousands were crucified, burned, or killed by wild animals in the circus arenas. Other Christians and even some non-Christians regarded persecuted Christians as martyrs. Martyrs were people willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of a belief or a cause. Despite persecution, Christianity became a powerful religious force. By the late third century A.D., there were millions of Christians in the Roman Empire.

Constantine Accepts Christianity The Roman emperor Constantine was fighting three rivals for his title. On the day before a major battle Constantine prayed for divine help. He reported that he then saw a cross of light in the heavens bearing the inscription, “In this sign, conquer Constantine and his troops were victorious in battle. In the next year, A.D. 313, Constantine announced an end to the persecution of Christians. PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S.
