Technically, Jesus is responsbile for the origin of Christianity, seeing as the religion is based around him. However, the tradition of Christianity was not set by Jesus; it developed over time, but was begun mainly by early Jewish Christian believers, especially the twelve apostles, who functioned as early leaders. Saint Paul (and later, more extremely, Marcion) are largely responsible for separating Christianity from Judaism.

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.
