Why did Jesus' teachings appeal to many people in the Roman empire?

For the same reason Jesus' teaching appeals to anybody, anywhere or any time.
Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father except through me."
Jesus made it quite clear that He does not merely show the way; He is the way. Salvation is in a Person. Christianity is Christ. Jesus is not just one of many ways. He is the only Way. No one comes to the Father except through Him. The way to God is not by the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, ordinances, church membership-it is through Christ and Christ alone. Today many say that it does not matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. They say that all religions have some good in them and that they all lead to heaven at last. But Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me."

∙ 8y ago1) Many pagans were by that time tired and disillusioned with their beliefs. Directly or subconsciously, they had come to realize the faults of idolatry, and were ripe for change.2) Historians tell us that at that time, the Near East was replete with hundreds of thousands of pagans (including very many Romans) who had to some degree come under the influence of Judaism. They saw the Jews of the diaspora and recognized the reasonable, balanced, appealing nature of Judaism. It was among these sympathetic non-Jews that Paul had some of his greatest successes in winning people over. See also the Related Link.

∙ 8y agoThe message of Christianity, in contrast to most of the religions in the Roman Empire, valued people without material benefits, such as slaves, house-maids, and other lowly positions. Favor with divinities in other faiths required propitiation, usually of expensive sacrifices, and being born in a high station of life was indicative of the divinities' pleasure. Conversely, Christianity taught that all people, regardless of economic station were judged only by their embrace of Christ. This made the religion attractive and led to it counting 10% of the Roman Empire in its membership purely by non-state conversion by the year 300 C.E. After that point, Armenia, Georgia, Ethiopia, and then Rome made Christianity the national religion, leading to mass conversions (often forcible ones).

What religion did saul of tarsus spread about the roman rmpire?
A:Mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, Saul is the name of the apostle Paul before his conversion and his first missionary journey. Tarsus is also given in Acts as the home town of Saul. In his own epistles, Paul never mentions having been called Saul, or having come from the city of Tarsus. In spite of this, it is certainly possible that he had been called Saul and that he was from Tarsus. However, we can never be certain whether the author of Acts of the Apostles, writing several decades after the death of Paul, was mistaken in those attributions. Some of the key passages regarding Saul in Acts of the Apostles have parallels to a Saulus whom Josephus mentions in Antiquities of the Jews, with which the author of Acts is known to have been familiar. Josephus even talked of a riot in Jerusalem, led by Saulus after the stoning of James. Although this Saulus could have inspired the author of Acts, he could not really have been the same person as Paul.
How did Christ messages help the teachings of Jesus?
