Document Summary

Handed in tuesdays at the beginning of lecture. Each answer worth 2% - no more than 50 word per question. Reasons: first century a missionary and a statesman/person. Missionary referred to as the founder of christianity very misleading and he would refuse this title. It is true that he is most responsible for the spread of christianity in first century. Christianity in rome, egypt and east we don"t know how it got there . He was successful in spreading christianity in turkey, greece and northern part of greece massedonia asia minor(?) Paul was most responsible for early spread of christianity. Acts of the apostles is evidence for this and paul dominates more than half the book (acts of paul) Early christians believed god was the messiah they were all jews and believed god had called abraham and made his descendants god"s people jewish people were the people of god and early christians believed this.
