The growth of Christianity and its eventual triumph in medieval Europe is currently a major topic of interest for historians. The traditional view was that Christianity offered a system of morality and solace to a world that was spiritually bereft. This is patently not true; the ancients were just as pious and spiritually awakened as Christians. Christianity absorbed this culture but added unique innovations that provided new meaning, and in a world with no certainty of the afterlife, Christianity provided assurance of one in heaven. When Constantine the Great converted, how many saw the winds of political change as a practical way to survive and get ahead?

1) Essentially, "superstition" meant that it was NEW. not old, not traditional, not tested by time. Christianity was not persecuted initially because, as you said correctly, it was considered part of the religion of the Jews. but note that the Jews were in fact exempt from the imperial cult. but given the ancient character of the religion of the Jews, the Roman empire allowed it to exist. the problem would arise, sometime early in the 2nd century, when it became clear that Christianity was something NEW, not old, and therefore a "superstition." 2) There were in fact TWO empire-wide systematic persecutions: under Decius (250s) and Diocletian (300s). These persecutions would occasion crises among the Christians of the empire. In any case, it became clear at some point that the Roman empire had many Christians so that persecuting and killing them would in fact destroy the Roman empire itself. The decision arrived at by Constantine, couched in the language of conversion, was in fact a political decision. To destroy Christianity was to destroy the empire itself, given how there were now many Christians on all the strata of the state and society. 3) Christian "anti-pagan" atrocities happened largely with the proclamation of Christianity as the "imperial religion" by Theodosius. Given the memory of Julian the Apostate's earlier efforts to reverse the tide of Christianization of the empire and the restoration of the old religious systems, it was inevitable that some Christians, mostly in the eastern half of the empire, would themselves become persecutors. I think you need to be a little bit more careful with making sweeping statements; the need for nuance and accuracy is particularly important when dealing with the history of anything.

Never seen a video addressing Christianity in the Roman Empire to be such unbiased. Good work!

After giving the same rights to plebeians that patricians had and allowing immigration, the ancient Roman religion that was based on ancestor worship couldn't provide the previous cohesion and unity. That's because people were not worshipping the same ancestors. Christianity could only take over when the ancestral religion was weakened and shortly after the Roman Empire fell.

The rise of Christianity amidst the tyranny of Roman Empire probably had an inevitability about it.-the mystique of Christianity along with it's galvanising power probably proved to powerful against Roman tyranny that became too corrupt and imploded.

Thanks for the informations!

Christianity actually extended the life of the Roman Empire to the East and preserved it in the West despite Rome’s own failing. The eastern part became the “Byzantine” Empire and the west the idea of Rome became an ideal in the Holy Roman Empire. Both empires, needless to say, are very Christian.

THANK YOU

The Christian evolution in Rome is a classic example of a emagent property

Yes it absolutely did. They were subverted into worshipping the Jewish god and pacified to love their enemies and turn the other cheek. They lost their ways, essentially.

nobody thinks it’s a superstition now, right?

Your life matters, the message of the Bible is that Jesus Christ, the son of God was willingly punished for the evilness of humanity. He loved you so much that He was willing to die a horrible, brutal death. He was punished instead of us. But the only way to actually be forgiven and make His sacrifice effective in your life, is by believing in Him and trusting that His sacrifice was for you. Do so, and you will have eternal life.
God loves you and so do I, God bless you.

Do you think Christianity led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire?
