How did the Roman Empire's initial sporadic persecution of and then later embrace of Christianityaffect the religion?
The Roman Empire's initial sporadic persecution of Christians, marked by brutal measures like executions and martyrdoms, paradoxically strengthened and galvanized the faith, fostering a sense of community and identity among believers. As the empire transitioned to embracing Christianity, particularly after Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 AD, the religion gained legitimacy and state support, leading to its rapid spread and integration into Roman culture. This shift allowed Christianity to evolve from a marginalized sect to the dominant religion, shaping its doctrines and practices in ways that aligned with imperial power. Ultimately, this transformation facilitated Christianity's establishment as a central institution within Western civilization.
