By the time of Emperor Constantine, after three centuries of preaching, Christianity represented about ten per cent of the population of the Roman Empire. Part of this achievement was a result of awe at the power of the Christian Church Fathers, who had claimed that some among them could cure sickness and even raise the dead; part of it resulted from respect for Christianity's undoubted concern for the poor and its moral principles. Whether or not those miracle claims were consistent with ethical principles, Christianity would probably have struggled to reach this level of penetration without the ethical values it taught.

From the time of Constantine, ethics and values played a lesser part in the spread of Christianity. Far more significant were the provision of state patronage and the persecution of the pagan temples under successive Christian emperors.
