Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10,000 miles, traveling across the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire's most important cities. Although places like Ephesus, Philippians, Corinthian and Athens looked magnificent, they were also home to tens of thousands of poor, desperate people who were the perfect audience for the Christian message of eternal life.
Like Jesus, Paul spoke to people in their homes and synagogues. But he went beyond Jesus, who had only preached to Jews. Paul believed his message should also be taken to gentiles - the non-Jews.
Paul was that disciple. Prior to his conversion to being a Christian he was a persecutor of people who believed in Jesus Christ. In those days he was known as Saul of Tsarus.
There was no one particular person who spread Christianity throughout the empire. All of the disciples/apostles of Jesus went out to "teach all nations". Several apostles are patrons of distant countries and they may very well have traveled to them. For example, James is affiliated with Spain, Peter with Rome, Luke, although not an apostle but a friend of Paul, is buried in Padua, Italy according to the latest DNA. Paul himself traveled and wrote throughout the middle east until he was taken to Rome as a prisoner. The Roman Emperor Constantine also helped spread Christianity by declaring it the official religion of the Roman Empire.
It was Charlemagne.
The Roman Empire helped the spread of Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. Christianity was preached around the eastern part of the Roman Empire by the apostles and other missionaries. Churches developed and the Patriarchates of Antioch, Alexandria and, later, Constantinople were established. The main kind of Christianity which developed in the eastern part of the Roman Empire was called Greek or Eastern Christianity. Later it came to be called Orthodox Christianity. Catholicism was initially called Latin or Western Christianity and became the main for of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire. It originated from theologists in Roman Tunisia and soon reached italy. Although Christianity was persecuted by the Romans for a period of time, mainstream Christianity (Greek and Latin Christianity) was made the sole legitimate religion of the empire by the Edict of Thessalonica issued in 380 by the co-emperors Theodosius I and Gratian. The purpose of the edict was to ban dissident Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic and persecuted. The main target was Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire.
The Edict of Milan, issued in 313 AD by Emperor Constantine and Licinius, was crucial in the history of Christianity as it granted religious tolerance throughout the Roman Empire, effectively legalizing Christianity. This marked a significant shift from previous persecution, allowing Christians to practice their faith openly and without fear of reprisal. The edict not only helped to establish Christianity as a major religion in the empire but also laid the groundwork for its eventual status as the state religion. Ultimately, it symbolized the broader acceptance of diverse religious practices in the empire.
Charlemagne helped spread Christianity throughout the Frankish Empire and the lands he conquered. He spread Christianity through both peaceful conversion efforts and military conquests.
