Why was Paul successful in spreading Christianity to Rome?
MayaParamoMaganagp60...
For he is also a Roman. But many Romans did not accept his preaching.
The Roman Empire lost it's empirical power but not it's ecclesiastical power which is Catholicism, not Paul's preachings.

∙ 7y agoPaul laid the foundations for the successful large scale spread of Christianity around the Roman Empire. He made Christianity a religion which was accessible to the gentiles (the non-Jews) of the Roman Empire; that is, to the whole population of the empire. Prior to this the Christians were Jews who preached the word of Christ in Judea to fellow Jews and still followed the Jewish law. Paul said that to be a Christian you needed to have faith in Christ and follow his teachings. You did not have to follow Jewish law and therefore you did not have to be a Jew.
Paul created a theology based on Christ, rather than on the Jewish Law and established the fundamental beliefs of Christianity: that God sent his Son who was crucified for the benefit of humanity and that his resurrection brought the promise of salvation to believers. He distinguished Christianity from Judaism by saying that humans are saved from sin by faith in Jesus and by following his teachings and not by following a law as the Jews believed. Jewish law was not necessary for salvation; Jesus alone was decisive. Thus, gentiles could convert to Christianity and did not need to become Jews and follow their laws. Up to then Christians had been Jewish Christians who saw Jesus as the promised messiah of the Jews, spread the word only to other Jews and still adhered to Jewish laws, customs and rituals and went to the synagogue. Paul's theology made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews). This made it possible for Christianity to spread around the Roman Empire.

Why did Rome rather than Baghdad emerge as the capital of world Christianity?
Well, after Jesus death, Saul known as Paul was persecuting the Christians. After Jesus Christ appeared to him, he became a Christian. Now Paul was a natural born citizen of Rome, so whenever he had the chance he traveled to Rome. Possibly to visit his family. Now Paul was an evangelist and whenever he preached, most of the people he preached to became Christians. From there, the good news of Christianity was spread. That is why Rome is the capital of world Christianity.
Who were the key figures in promoting Christianity in Europe?
St. Paul, who spread Christianity as far as Rome. Constantine made Christianity the official state religion of the Roman Empire.
