For its first couple of hundred years, the surviving disciples and new disciples who were appointed as bishops managed the emerging Christianity religion and way of life.

In 313 AD, the Edict of Milan made the church legal and accepted in the Roman Empire. A few years later the Council of Nicaea established a more formal structure for the church which evolved into the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic branches of the church. The Bishop of Alexandria was then in charge of the Eastern Church and the Bishop of Rome (Pope) was in charge of the west.

Who was responsible for the widespread establishment of Christianity?

AnswerArguably, there are two persons who, more than any one else, were responsible for the spread of Christianity. The first of these was Paul, the "Apostle to the Gentiles", without whom Christianity could have remained a minor Jewish sect. The second is the fourth-century Emperor Cosntantine, who gave the Christian Church state patronage and began the process of converting the empire to Christianity.
