Early Christianity began with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, whose message of love and salvation spread throughout the Roman Empire. Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and resurrection form the core of Christian beliefs. Following his death, his followers established the early Christian church, facing both persecution and growth as they spread Jesus’ teachings. This period was marked by the writing of the New Testament, the establishment of church communities, and significant debates on theology and doctrine, laying the foundation for Christianity as a major world religion.
