The Greeks gradually adopted Christianity due to a combination of factors, including the appeal of its teachings of hope, salvation, and community, which resonated with many in a society experiencing political and social upheaval. The conversion was also facilitated by the efforts of missionaries, such as the Apostle Paul, and the eventual endorsement of the religion by the Roman Empire, particularly after Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 AD. Additionally, the decline of traditional pagan practices and the desire for a unified belief system contributed to the shift towards Christianity.
