CHRISTIANITY

This brief overview explores the profound impact of Jesus and Emperor Constantine on early Christianity. Jesus, a Jewish rabbi born in Bethlehem, spoke Aramaic and was believed by early Christians to have descended from King David. His teachings and resurrection shaped the faith's foundation. Constantine, a Roman emperor, aimed to unify his empire through Christianity, believing himself chosen by God after witnessing a vision of a burning cross. This union of faith and politics significantly influenced the development of Christianity in the context of Roman rule.
