Answers
Answer:
Christianity spread to Aramaic-speaking peoples along the Mediterranean coast and also to the inland parts of the Roman Empire, and beyond that into the Parthian Empire and the later Sasanian Empire, including Mesopotamia, which was dominated at different times and to varying extents by these empires.
Answer:
Christianity "emerged as a sect of Judaism in Roman Palestine"[1] in the syncretistic Hellenistic world of the first century AD, which was dominated by Roman law and Greek culture.[2] It started with the ministry of Jesus, who proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of God.[3][web 1] After his death by crucifixion, some of his followers saw Jesus, and proclaimed him to be alive and resurrected by God.[4][5][6][7][8] The resurrection of Jesus "signalled for earliest believers that the days of eschatological fulfillment were at hand,"[web 2] and gave the impetus in certain Christian sects to the exaltation of Jesus to the status of divine Son and Lord of God's Kingdom[9][web 2] and the resumption of their missionary activity.[10][11]
