What did the early christian called the Hebrews scriptures they adopted?
Being that most of Christ's teachings were based on the Hebrew writings, early Christians referred to the Jewish TaNaK, which is the Hebrew Bible. Many of the different books of the New Testament were originally written and published separately, so many early Christians added them to their Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, called the Septuagint. It wasn't until the books of the New Covenant, or the New Testament, were beginning to be canonized into an organized Christian bible, with the books of the TaNaK at it's basis, when the Hebrew texts were seen as the Old Testament.
What is the original name of Christianity?
Christian means "Christ-like." That is the origin of it. The early Christians were noted by their neighbors to be like Christ, so they called them Christians. The Bible states that they were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
What are letters written to the early church?
The earliest letter in the bible is the Letter by Paul to the church in Corinth.
Why were early christians not allowed to read the bible?
the earliest christians were able to read the bible...if they could read. Once the bible was translated to latin in the vulgate, it became out of reach for most believers. This was done because latin was the language of the educated. What kept them from reading was not that they weren't allowed but that they didn't have a bible and they couldn't read latin.
How did the early Christians spread their message?
By word of mouth, by reading the Bible, by showing you are Christian, so others follow your footsteps.
