Other important theologians, who are called the 'Fathers of the Church' developed the Christian doctrine further. Christianity developed into two main forms: Greek or Eastern Christianity, which was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire, and Latin or Western Christianity, which was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the empire.
