Why did the Romans try to stop the spread of Christianity?
The Romans did not try to stop the spread of Christianity. There were alternations between periods of toleration and periods of persecution. Some Roman emperors thought that Christianity was a threat to the Roman state because many bureaucrats and soldiers converted to Christianity. The Romans saw their state as being interlinked with Roman Religion. The persecutions were aimed mainly at the civil service and the Christian clergy, rather than Christianity as such. The last and worse persecution, the Great Persecution, failed because it was difficult to implement, because of the resistance of the Christians and because it undermined the stability of the empire. After that, the emperors endorsed Christianity, favored it over other religions and promoted it. Eventually, Christianity became the state religion of the empire. With imperial support, the spread of Christianity accelerated.
Do you think Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the roman empire?
It is unlikely that Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the Roman Empire. Originally, the Christians were Jews who followed the Jewish Law and preached the teaching of Jesus to other Jews. The foundations of Christian theology were then laid by Paul of Tarsus, who said that salvation did not require following the Jewish laws. It required faith in Jesus as the saviour and this could free people form sin. Therefore, Paul made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. The Christian churches and theology were developed by theologians and priest in various areas of the empire and was a Roman development. Had Christianity arisen outside the Roman Empire, it would have been developed by different people and would have been different.
Which religion was dominant at the end of the Roman Empire?
Great Question!Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, and was made the official state religion in 380 by Theodosius (the last ruler of the combined Roman Empire). Here's the thing though - that doesn't mean the majority of people followed it.The truth is that many people would have desired to hang on to their religious roots in the "old gods". However, when it was made the state religion it would have become illegal to not be a Christian. From 380 on Rome was the center of Christianity in the west, so by far the most likely answer is that Nicene Christianity was the dominant religion.
